HERKIMER COUNTY, NY – Today, 115 Herkimer County elected officials including Republicans, Conservatives, Democrats, and Independents endorsed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for re-election to Congress, setting a record for the number of endorsements she has earned in Herkimer County, including endorsements from every town in the county.
“Elise Stefanik has my backing 100%. I think she’s an outstanding leader and is doing incredible things for this county. She’s a strong voice in Washington which we need now more than ever. I hope she stays in Congress for a long long time,” Herkimer County Clerk Sylvia Rowan said.
“I’m a strong backer of Elise. She’s a strong conservative voice for the people of Upstate New York and she always has our best interest in mind. She doesn’t forget where she came from either. No matter what’s going on in Washington DC or around the world, Elise makes time to come back to the district and hear from her constituents. I’m proud to have her as our Congresswoman,” Frankfort Town Supervisor John Wallace said.
“Elise Stefanik is a powerful advocate for the people of upstate New York demonstrating unwavering dedication to revitalizing communities that have been long overlooked. In Herkimer County, her impactful support for significant projects has made a tangible difference, and her office is always ready to assist with our policy needs. On a personal note, as a woman who recently stepped into the political arena, I am grateful for Elise’s mentorship. She is a trailblazer and truly sets a brilliant example for us all to aspire to,” Village of Herkimer Mayor Dana Sherry said.
“I’m honored to earn the support of 115 elected officials in Herkimer County. I look forward to working with public servants from all political parties to deliver real results for the hardworking families of Upstate New York and the North Country,” said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
