Lewis County: Today, 89 Lewis County elected officials from every town in the county endorsed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for re-election to Congress.

These endorsements highlight the strong bipartisan, grassroots support for Congresswoman Stefanik across Lewis County and the North Country as a whole. Congresswoman Stefanik works hard to earn each and every vote from voters who recognize her strong bipartisan record and hyper-focus on local issues and real results.

“Congresswoman Stefanik is the best choice for voters in Lewis County and across the North Country,” said Larry Dolhoff (R), Chairman of the County Board of Legislators. “She knows how to deliver results on the local issues that actually matter to us; she understands the unique challenges we face here in Upstate New York. Most importantly, Elise knows that agriculture is the backbone of our local economy, and she has fought tirelessly to support our local farming families. We need Elise in office so she can keep fighting for us and delivering results home to our communities, and that’s why I’m proud to endorse her for re-election this year.”

“I am very proud to endorse Congresswoman Stefanik for her re-election this November,” said Randall LaChausse (I), County Legislator, District 2. “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Elise proved that she will stand up for Upstate New York and our rural communities. She listens and fights for us when no one else will. I am thrilled to be fully supporting Congresswoman Stefanik again this year.”

“Elise has been a tireless advocate for the North Country, standing up for our values in Congress, and always putting her constituents first,” said Chuck Langs (R), Town Council Member, Diana. “I’m especially grateful for her record of listening to and working with our local farms, businesses, manufacturers and families. Now more than ever before, we need Representatives who serve us, and there is not a better advocate for the North Country than Elise Stefanik. I’m proud to give her my endorsement.”

“I’m grateful to earn the support and endorsement of each of these 89 local elected officials and community leaders in Lewis County,” said Congresswoman Stefanik. “My continued partnership with our local officials in Lewis County and across the North Country is critical to achieving bipartisan, Real Results for my constituents. Voters and community leaders in Lewis County know that I will work with anyone, regardless of party, to deliver wins for our district. My independent record is the complete opposite of my opponent’s record: radical, Far-Left Resistance.”
