MONTGOMERY COUNTY—Today, 58 Montgomery County elected officials, including Republicans, Democrats, and Conservatives endorsed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for re-election to Congress. This includes one or more elected officials from every town in Montgomery County.
“I was thrilled to find out Congresswoman Stefanik was redistricted into Montgomery, and I look forward to supporting her this November,” said Michael Pepe, Chairman of the County Legislature (R).“I have seen what Congresswoman Stefanik has been able to do in her district. She has consistently brought the concerns of Upstate New York and the North Country to the highest levels of government. For over a year, Elise has been demanding that Joe Biden and House Democrats address the skyrocketing cost of goods and services. Unfortunately, they have just continued with their reckless out-of-control government spending, which has only worsened this crisis. Thankfully Elise has proposed real solutions to this crisis, like her REIN IN ACT. Elise has my full support this November, and I look forward to working with her to make sure that she is reelected because Montgomery County couldn’t ask for a better champion in Congress.”
“I am proud to endorse Congresswoman Elise Stefanik in her re-election this November,” said Shawn Bowerman, Montgomery County Treasurer (D).“Congresswoman Stefanik has fought tirelessly during her tenure to deliver real results for Upstate New York and the North Country, and I look forward to what she will bring to Montgomery County. I have seen Congresswoman Stefanik in action. Because of Elise’s relentless advocacy, the Northern Border Regional Commission implemented a program that helped address NY-21’s rural doctor shortage. It is because of Elise’s ability to deliver real results like this that she has my full support this November, and I look forward to working tirelessly to help her win.”
“I am honored and humbled to have the backing of 57 elected officials from Montgomery County for my re-election campaign,” said Congresswoman Stefanik.“Voters and local leaders in Montgomery County know that I am the only candidate running for Congress from Upstate New York who shares the North Country’s values and has a proven track record of delivering real results for our community time after time in Congress. I look forward to working with everyone as we earn another historic victory this November and work to save America and New York in the new Republican-controlled House next year.”
