STEFANIK CAMPAIGN TO SILENT NY21 DEMOCRATS: “DO YOU STAND WITH SCHUMER TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT?”

– Would You Have Voted with Schumer to Shut It Down, or with Stefanik to Fund Children’s Health Program and Keep Government Open? –

Washington, DC: Elise for Congress Communications Director Lenny Alcivar today released the following statement today on last night’s shut down of the Federal government:

“Since running for Congress, Elise Stefanik has strongly stood against political brinksmanship, and has always opposed government shutdowns. Congresswoman Stefanik has kept her promise to North Country voters, consistently voting to keep the government open. While Senate Democrats shamefully play politics by holding government funding hostage, Elise continues to work through the weekend to ensure we fund the government and the bipartisan Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).”

“Her Democratic opponents in the 21st District must end their silence, and answer the simple question:

“Would you have voted with Chuck Schumer to shut down the Federal government, or with Elise Stefanik to fund children’s health care and keep our government open?”
