WASHINGTON COUNTY, NY – Today, 81 Washington County elected officials including Republicans, Conservatives, and Independents endorsed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for re-election to Congress. This is the highest number of endorsements the Congresswoman has ever received from local elected officials in Washington County.
“Elise has been great at working to better the district,” said David O’Brien (R), Hampton Town Supervisor. “She has been instrumental in securing grants and funding for projects in Washington County. I look forward to working with her to deliver more results in the future.”
“After a 32 year career as a police officer and as Chairman of the Board in a county with a very active, accredited Sheriff’s Department, my first reason for strongly supporting the re-election of Elise Stefanik is her unwavering advocacy on behalf of police officers across the country,” said Robert Henke (R), Chairman of the County Board of Supervisors and Argyle Town Supervisor. “In addition, the fact that Congresswoman Stefanik’s advocacy includes not just words but actual actions is a primary reason for support. For example, she did not simply complain about the Biden-Harris Administration’s border policy, but she followed up with support and passage of legislation condemning their actions. Elise Stefanik will always have my endorsement and support because she actually takes action!”
“Congresswoman Stefanik has been an outstanding representative for our congressional district. She has intervened to help our veterans get the benefits they have earned, fought to preserve and share our rich history, and assisted her constituents with issues with the Internal Revenue Service. She has assisted her constituents work through the bureaucracy of the federal government, and most recently she has stood consistent in her opposition to the closing of Great Meadow Correctional Facility, the largest employer in the town of Fort Ann and Washington County,” said Samuel J Hall (R), Fort Ann Town Supervisor. “She is a true representative of the people. I wholeheartedly support Congresswoman Stefanik in her reelection.”
“She fights for Washington County. I appreciate her staunch support of our law enforcement and fighting against the closing of Great Meadow.” Lisa Boyce (R), County Clerk
“I’m grateful to earn the support and endorsement of these hardworking local elected officials and community leaders of Washington County. This is the highest number of local elected officials in Washington County to ever endorse me, and I am grateful for their support,” said Chairwoman Stefanik. “It is an honor to continue to deliver results to Washington County by securing $2 million for a sanitary sewer improvement project in the Village of Whitehall, by passing the Battlefield Protection Program Enhancement Act to preserve Fort Ann, and by leading the charge against Kathy Hochul’s catastrophic plan to close the Great Meadow Correctional Facility. I will continue to represent and fight for Washington County at the highest levels in our nation’s Capitol.”
