LEWIS COUNTY, NY – Today, 88 Lewis County elected officials including Republicans, Conservatives, Democrats, and Independents endorsed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for re-election to Congress including endorsements from every town in the county.
“Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has earned my endorsement because she knows how to deliver for her constituents. The dairy industry is vital to Lewis County’s economy, and we’re grateful that Elise has been leading the charge in Congress to keep milk in our schools. She’s proven time and time again to be a reliable voice for the North Country, especially our farmers and small business owners,” Chairman of the Lewis County Board of Legislators Larry Dolhof said.
“I am 100% endorsing Elise for Congress because she follows through on her promises. She follows her heart and her convictions. She’s a strong supporter of former President Trump. She has always stood with law enforcement,” Lewis County Sheriff Michael Carpinelli said.
“I admire and appreciate that Elise is a tireless advocate for the 21st District, helping to secure funding for diverse programs and projects across the North Country. She’s helped secure funding for small but vital projects such as $3 million for the Hand in Hand Early Childhood Center. Elise has also delivered major wins, delivering $415 million for the Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome,” Constableville Village Mayor Samantha Brown said.
“I am grateful for Elise’s advocacy on behalf of our military and veterans. My family has a strong military background, both my husband and I are veterans and my son is active duty. It’s very important to me that our candidates support our service members and I’m very impressed with Congresswoman Stefanik’s record. She has my support,” Diana Town Clerk Andrea Paterson said.
“I will be endorsing Congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s re-election. I admire that she stands behind President Trump and has been working to pass his America First policies in Congress,” Lewis Town Supervisor Dawn Zagurski said.
“I’m grateful to earn the support and endorsement of these local elected officials and community leaders in Lewis County. Voters and local leaders in Lewis County know that time and time again I have successfully delivered real results for our communities. I will continue to work with anyone, regardless of party, to deliver real results for North Country families, small businesses, veterans, and seniors.” said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
