Written by Scott Sartwell in the Press-Republican

TO THE EDITOR: I am writing to urge voters to pay attention to Congresswoman Stefanik and her leadership in Congress. Over her tenure, Elise has represented and advocated for our district and our communities wholeheartedly.

Elise repeatedly ranks in the top 5 percent most bipartisan members of Congress and makes her voice known when she disagrees with her colleagues. When an extraordinary event occurred, the impeachment of a United States president, Elise rose to the occasion to ensure that the process was as professional and transparent as possible, for this she received the ire of partisan individuals.

A great bipartisan example is the SMART Fund, which will provide $500 billion to states and municipalities to fill financial shortfalls as a result of COVID-19.

Elise has proven and continues to prove that her actions are not driven by partisan behavior, She is not influenced by what the Senate or White House is doing. Rather, Elise votes and advocates for what she believes in and what she thinks will most benefit our district.

Despite it all, Elise has remained true to her values, her bipartisan record, and her advocacy for the district. Thank you, Elise, you have my support.
