Jefferson County: Today, 150 Jefferson County elected officials from every town in the county endorsed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for re-election to Congress.

These endorsements highlight the strong bipartisan, grassroots support for Congresswoman Stefanik across Jefferson County and the North Country as a whole. Congresswoman Stefanik works hard to earn each and every vote from voters who recognize her strong bipartisan record and hyper-focus on local issues and real results.

“I am pleased to announce my endorsement of our great Congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s reelection bid this November,” said Scott Gray (R), Chairman, Board of Legislators. “Of the many wins Elise has delivered for the North Country, I am particularly grateful for her unmatched support for our veterans, our troops, and Fort Drum. Elise has saved thousands of jobs, delivered key resources, funding, and has been the most successful advocate for our troops I’ve ever seen. She is our North Country fighter who has been available 24/7, proving herself during the COVID crisis in particular as the only choice in this race and I look forward to working with her across the next two years.”

“Congresswoman Elise Stefanik most certainly has my endorsement for her reelection this November,” said Tim Scee (D), Town Supervisor, Hounsfeild. “Her strong and independent record puts her well ahead of the competition and proves both her willingness and ability to work with anyone, from either side of the aisle, in order to deliver results for the North Country. She is all parts accessible, conscientious, and caring, and I look forward to all that she can achieve in her next term.”

“There is only one choice in the race for NY-21’s Congressional seat – Elise Stefanik – and I am proud to endorse her again this cycle,” said Jeffrey Smith (R), Mayor, City of Watertown. “Elise has proven to be the best advocate for our North Country values, standing up for law enforcement, supporting our troops, and delivering unprecedented aid for our military families and veterans. She has been instrumental in working to keep our small business community afloat during these unprecedented times and is never more than a phone call away. I can’t imagine anyone better to represent us in Congress. I look forward to her resounding victory in the fall.

 “I’m grateful for the support and endorsement of each of these 150 local elected officials and community leaders in Jefferson County,” said Congresswoman Stefanik. “I work with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents in the North Country in order to achieve real, bipartisan results for our region, and I am ranked in the top 5% most bipartisan Members of Congress. Taxin’ Tedra works only with Democrats, supports Governor Cuomo no matter what, and is a Pelosi parrot. I work hard to ensure the North Country has a seat at the table on the federal level and will work with anyone to get things done and achieve real results.”
