Saratoga, NY – Today, House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the followed statement:
“Under Kathy Hochul’s failed Far Left Democrat rule, a radical Communist Defund-the-Police Antisemite may be elected Mayor of New York City, a CBP officer was just brutally shot in the face by an illegal in NY due to dangerous sanctuary state laws, and New Yorkers are fleeing the highest taxed state in the nation. Republicans are more unified than ever in our mission to fire the Worst Governor in America Kathy Hochul in 2026. Mike Lawler is a great, effective, and hardworking Representative for New York’s 17th Congressional District and is committed to protecting the House Republican Majority. As I have previously stated, I am focused on supporting strong Republican local and county candidates on the ballot this November to lay the groundwork with a strong team for next year. I will make a final decision and announcement after this year’s November election which we are all focused on. I am grateful for the outpouring of support across our great state from Republicans, Independents, and Democrats who know it is our last best chance to Save New York.”
