I do have hope that we will see “Governor Stefanik,” because if Mamdani wins in New York City, I do believe it sets it up for something better for New York, and New York deserves it.
HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP CHAIRWOMAN ELISE STEFANIK:
ON THE WORST GOVERNOR IN AMERICA KATHY HOCHUL RUNNING SCARED:
And I’ll tell you who is the most nervous about this, is Kathy Hochul, because she chose to endorse him (Commie Mamdani), she owns all his positions. There’s not a single position where she has said she disagreed. So I’m hearing from New Yorkers, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who are very upset with our failed Governor in terms of embracing Mamdani and standing on stage gripping his hand.
ON POLL SHOWING STEFANIK LEADS HOCHUL:
Kathy Hochul has abysmal polling numbers, including with registered Democrats in the State of New York. So the reason why she endorsed (Commie Mamdani) was she was trying to coalesce Democrat voters, because she was having real issues. No matter where you poll in the state of New York, they’re seeing the same numbers that we are. People in New York are suffering, we’re suffering from an affordability crisis.
ON STRONG SUPPORT TO SAVE NEW YORK:
I’ve been honored and energized by the amount of support outpouring from all across the state. I’ve delivered results. I flipped my district from Democrat to Republican, we win Independents and we win 20% of Democrats consistently.
ON NEW YORK FIRING KATHY HOCHUL:
Next year, New Yorkers are going to unify and fire Kathy Hochul to Save the State, because she has proven incapable. She bent the knee. And she owns this catastrophe if he (Commie Mamdani) wins.
ON PRESIDENT TRUMP PUTTING AMERICA FIRST:
I represent Upstate New York in continuation of the Rust Belt. We’ve seen the hollowing out of manufacturers, which used to be booming cities. Now people barely are getting by. So our trade policy was allowing China to run roughshod for decades, and it was a bipartisan failure. President Trump is addressing this and is trying to ensure that we’re putting American manufacturers first. I think this was a win. I think providing that certainty is key. And I also want to point out the issue of fentanyl. The fact that the president was able to deliver results when it comes to the fentanyl flowing into our country, killing Americans, including killing constituents in my district, we need to always stand up for the American people. I’ve met with so many families. These stories are devastating. So this is a big win by the President.
