Grassroots Endorsements from Leaders in Every Town in Jefferson County – Republicans, Democrats and Independents

Watertown, NY: Congresswoman Elise Stefanik today announced the endorsement of over 100 elected officials in Jefferson County.

The endorsements represent every town in Jefferson County, and from across the political spectrum, including Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.

The Jefferson County endorsements build on a robust grassroots organization in the region. The campaign has already made over 25,000 volunteer calls, and knocked on more than 700 doors across the Jefferson County area.

Democrat James Eves, the Village Mayor of Dexter said, “I am happy to endorse Elise for re-election. She has made her presence felt in Jefferson County and has shown that she genuinely cares about the important issues facing our region, especially Fort Drum. She has been a real advocate for our veterans and military community and I am excited to support her.”

Republican Scott Gray, Chairman of the Board of Legislators said, “Elise has been a tireless advocate for Jefferson County and the North Country. She has been highly visible in our region, partnering with local and state officials on issues that are important to us. Her attentiveness and ability to listen are much needed and rare traits in an elected official. I am happy to support her for re-election. “

“I’m honored to receive the endorsement of so many leaders across Jefferson County,” said Stefanik. “From my first day in Congress, I’ve worked with these top officials, Republicans, Democrats and Independents, to deliver real results for families and small businesses in every town in the County.”

“I want to thank each and every one of these leaders for their bipartisan support, and for the tremendous support of our growing grassroots network of volunteers and supporters across Jefferson County and across the North Country who have joined our campaign to make Washington work for you.”
