Congresswoman Stefanik has now earned the unanimous endorsement of 15 NY-21 Republican Committees

SARATOGA, NY—Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik announced that she has earned the unanimous endorsements of the Montgomery, Washington, and Lewis County Republican committees. Stefanik has now been endorsed unanimously by fifteen Republican committees in the 21st district, including Saratoga, Franklin, Herkimer, Fulton, Jefferson, Clinton, Hamilton, Warren, Oneida, St. Lawrence, Oswego, Essex, Montgomery, Washington and Lewis Counties.
 
Montgomery County GOP Chair Mike McMahon said:
 
“Last night, Montgomery County Republicans unanimously endorsed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for re-election. Our community is ecstatic that Ms. Stefanik will soon officially represent us, although her strong, conservative leadership has long benefited families across our state. From taking on corrupt Governor Andrew Cuomo, to standing with President Donald Trump, Congresswoman Stefanik has always fought for New Yorkers. Montgomery County families look forward to turning out in big numbers to support her re-election.”
 
Washington County GOP Chair Bill Herrick said:
 
“Washington County Republicans had the opportunity to once again unanimously endorse our Representative, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. Our families are fired up to help Congresswoman Stefanik deliver a Red Wave this November. Both President Biden and Governor Hochul’s extreme agendas have failed communities in Washington County, and we’re grateful to have a leader like Congresswoman Stefanik who will continue fighting to get families back to work, secure our border, and support our brave law enforcement officers.”
 
Lewis County GOP Chair Michael Young said: 
 
“The Lewis County Republican Party proudly stands behind Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. Our unanimous endorsement is a testament to the Congresswoman’s steadfast commitment to our conservative values and her strong record of results for Lewis County families. We are excited to continue working with the Congresswoman to elect Republicans up and down the ballot this November.”
 
The expanded NY-21 district voted for President Trump by 19% in 2020, nearly doubling the margin in the prior NY-21, and voted for the GOP gubernatorial candidate in 2018 by 30%. Congresswoman Stefanik has been re-elected by historic margins every single election cycle despite millions of dollars spent against her. The new seat has been described in multiple media outlets as a “GOP Super Seat.”
