FRANKLIN COUNTY—Today, 55 Franklin County elected officials, including 35 Republicans and 21 Democrats endorsed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for re-election to Congress. This is the highest number of endorsements the Congresswoman has ever received from officials in Franklin County, and includes all 8 Democrat elected officials from the Town Bangor.

“I will be proudly voting once again for Congresswoman Elise Stefanik this November,”said Andrea Dumas, District 3 County Legislator and Mayor of Malone (R).“Elise has been fighting for Franklin County, Upstate New York and the North Country since she was first elected to Congress and has continued to bring our concerns to the highest levels of government and delivering real results. Elise has been leading the fight in Congress against Joe Biden and House Democrats’ war on American energy, which has caused home heating prices to skyrocket this winter. She knows that the best way to drive down these prices is to unleash American energy dominance. It is for reasons like this that Elise has my full support, and I look forward to doing everything I can to help ensure that she remains our representative.”

“I will be supporting Congresswoman Elise Stefanik this November,” said Barry White, Bangor Town Council Member (D).“Elise is the only candidate running that understands Franklin County, Upstate New York and the North Country’s values. She has worked to secure important funding to support mental health and combat substance abuse in Franklin County. Elise’s ability to deliver real results like this is why she has my full support this election cycle and I look forward to continuing to work with her in the next Congress.”

“I am proud to have earned the support of 55 of Franklin County elected officials. This support comes from 35 Republicans and 21 Democrats.They know that I am the only candidate that is running for congress that is from Upstate New York and understands our values and concerns. I look forward to working with each of these elected officials from Franklin County in the next congress as we work together to deliver real results for NY-21,” said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
