SARATOGA, NY – The International Union of Police Associations, AFL-CIO, which represents more than 100,000 rank and file, active-duty law enforcement professionals, endorsed House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik for re-election in New York’s 21st Congressional District.

Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement:

“I am honored to once again earn the endorsement of the International Union of Police Associations. The members of the I.U.P.A. know I will always Back the Blue here in the North Country and across America. I’m grateful for the support of the I.U.P.A. and will continue to work with them in my next term in Congress to fight for law enforcement officers against the Far Left Democrats’ radical defund the police agenda.”

In a letter to the Chairwoman, I.U.P.A. International President Sam Cabral stated:

“Your time in Congress has shown your commitment to the public’s safety and to the men and women who provide it, including your steadfast support of the Back the Blue Act, the Protect and Serve Act, and the POLICE Act of 2023. You have opposed bail reform and other measures that have led to increases of violent crimes in our communities.

We look forward to working with you and your staff to see this campaign result in victory for you and for the people of this great nation.”
