FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wednesday, October 15, 2025
SARATOGA, N.Y. – Today, House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement:
“Kathy Hochul’s endorsed candidate for New York City Mayor fully embraces Hamas terrorists and refuses to call for them to put down their weapons. Kathy Hochul must immediately condemn this pro-terrorist candidate who puts the lives and safety of New Yorkers at risk.
Note that while Kathy Hochul will desperately try to falsely smear Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for heinous statements made in a young group chat that Elise was not even a part of, Congresswoman Stefanik was the first to condemn and immediately called for their removal from positions in a young Republican club. This is in stark contrast to the Worst Governor in America Kathy Hochul who has failed to lay out a single issue where she disagrees with Mamdani. Hochul has failed to condemn his dangerous antisemitism or pro-Hamas pro-terror positions.”
