Work ethic strong

TO THE EDITOR: I am writing in my support for Elise Stefanik.

Recently, I was able to ask Elise which one of her values does she utilize most in Congress. She responded with hard work. And, as a constituent, I can see her working tirelessly day-in and day-out to secure integral wins for our communities.

Secondly, I would like to respond to a recently published letter to the editor that criticized Elise for being tough on Governor Cuomo. Well, thank goodness she is, because if not for Elise, no one would hold Governor Cuomo accountable for his poor handling of the re-opening of our economy.

Our small businesses in the North Country have done everything that has been asked by our state government to open yet, despite supposedly being in Phase 4 of the re-opening, Cuomo has not allowed them to fully open their doors back open for business.

I urge those reading this letter to vote for Elise Stefanik in November. The success of the North Country depends on her strong work ethic.
