The fight to save our country and our state will not be easy but I have never been more determined to work my hardest to save America. I am grateful for the hundreds of thousands of grassroots supporters in Upstate New York and across the country. We will work our hardest to defeat the Democrats across New York and the country, to protect and expand our House Majority and elect President Trump in 2024.”

Regional Vice-Chair of the New York GOP for the North Country Region and Fulton County GOP Chair Susan McNeil
“Here in Fulton County, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has delivered real results since her first day in office. Elise has been a voice for Upstate New York and the North Country, and with her critical role in Leadership, she has been able to represent us at the highest level of government. The Congresswoman has been at the forefront of the fight to Save America, flipping districts in New York state to successfully regain a Republican Majority in the House. Without Elise’s efforts, the Biden Administration would have continued its assault on hardworking Americans. That is why it is my great honor to announce my endorsement of Congresswoman Elise Stefanik in her bid for re-election in 2024!”
North Country Regional Vice-Chair of the Conservative Party and St. Lawrence County Conservative Chair Hank Ford
“St. Lawrence County Conservatives could not prouder to be represented by Elise Stefanik in Congress and for her to be both the most powerful woman in Congress as well as the most senior elected official supporting President Trump’s campaign. The North Country benefits immensely from Elise’s position in House leadership. No one works harder than Elise to fight for our conservative values and I fully endorse Elise, and will work tirelessly to ensure she continues to win her election in a landslide.”
Clinton County Republican Chair Jerika Manning
“Elise Stefanik is leading the way to end the well overdue vaccine mandates at the northern border. Cross-border travel is essential to the economy of Clinton County and the additional burden being imposed on Canadian travelers and families is well overdue.

The North Country needs to keep its voice at the highest levels of government. I look forward to supporting Elise Stefanik in her re-election.”

“As Essex County Republican Chairman, I continue to offer my endorsement of Congresswoman Stefanik for her re-election. Elise has always done well for Essex County, advocating for our Veterans, family farms, and seniors, schools, economic opportunity, and standing as a steadfast bulwark against the hyper-liberal progressivism of the New York State Democratic-controlled government. She has support locally, and we look forward to supporting her 2024 congressional election.”

The crisis at our Northern border has received national attention because of Elise’s staunch advocacy. As the Chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, Elise is one of the highest-ranking officials in the federal government, and the importance of her unique ability to shine the national spotlight on North Country issues can not be overstated. Elise’s support is at an all-time high; just look at her last election results! Franklin County Republicans are energized and excited to help re-elect our Elise.

I endorse Elise and know she will continue to receive unquestionable support in Fulton County.”
Hamilton County Republican Chair Clark Seaman
“Ever since her first bid for office, Hamilton County has supported Congresswoman Stefanik. We are so proud to have our Representative in House leadership. The concerns of Hamilton County and the 21st Congressional District have never made it to such a high level of government. Our country sits at a breaking point, and I believe the Republican Party was able to retake the House Majority because people saw we were headed in the wrong direction. It’s why Republicans across Hamilton County showed up to overwhelmingly support Elise last November. Elise needs to continue her important work in Congress for the betterment of our County, State, and country. In these times, we cannot afford to lose a representative like Elise, and I’m glad to throw my unwavering support behind her re-election.”
Herkimer County Republican Chair Sylvia Rowan
“I am proud to endorse Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for re-election to continue her diligent work representing and delivering real results to the people of NY-21 and our Nation. Since the entirety of Herkimer County was added to her district, Elise has spent time in every town, village, and city, staying up to date on the issues we face daily. If it wasn’t for Elise’s leadership in the House, hardworking Americans would continue to suffer under the Biden Administration’s reckless spending and Far Left agenda. We need Elise to continue fighting for the people both here in New York State and across the Nation; that is why I am proud to support Congresswoman Elise Stefanik in her bid for re-election in 2024.”
Herkimer County Conservative Chair Marilyn Williams

Lewis County Republicans look forward to re-electing Elise.”

The voters of Montgomery County were loud and clear last election, voting overwhelmingly for her across the county, and even in the Democrat City of Amsterdam where Elise’s victory was a sign of new hope for Republicans! It is my mission to ensure Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is re-elected to continue her work leading our country to a better future.”
Montgomery County Conservative Chair Robert ‘Pete’ Phelps

As the Chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, Elise has successfully supported Conservative values and voices in Congress. For too long the Far Left has controlled our state and federal government pushing harmful policies on the American people. Elise has been a relentless defender of our constitution, our core conservative values, and she has delivered real results to the people of our Nation time and time again. I am proud to endorse this strong conservative woman, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, in her bid for re-election in 2024.”

From touring our local businesses to visiting family farms, Elise has always made a valiant effort to earn the support of voters across the district.

“America is obviously in crisis. We need seasoned leadership now more than ever. In the 21st Congressional District, incumbent Congresswoman Elise Stefanik continues to work tirelessly for hardworking families, our Armed Forces and Veterans. Most important Congresswoman Stefanik is a member of the Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government which holds the current administration accountable for its attacks against the American people. In these times of continuing hardship we need strong leadership in Washington D.C. Congresswoman Stefanik has the expertise, empathy, and courage to be a strong leader.”
Washington County Republican Chair Bill Herrick
“Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has been standing up for the values we hold closest here in Washington County. It’s why Washington County voters stamped their approval last November when Elise won here, overwhelmingly, by more than twenty percent. Elise has been an effective representative, and her position in House leadership allows her to bring our concerns to the highest level of the federal government. I unequivocally support her re-election campaign.”
Washington County Conservative Chair Beverly Jakway
“Congresswoman Stefanik has never had stronger support in Upstate NY and the North Country and her leadership has never been more important. People are desperate for strong leadership and a fighter who can hold Joe Biden, Kathy Hochul, and their radical administrations accountable. Elise has been leading that fight and we need her in the driver’s seat to make sure we elect more Republicans to push back on the Democrats’ extreme agenda. She is the only person I want representing me in Congress.”
New York State GOP Chairman Ed Cox
“New York Republicans are incredibly grateful for Elise’s strong leadership for our State. Elise has shown the country what New Yorkers are made of – grit and determination.

New York State Conservative Party Chairman Jerry Kassar
“I am honored to support Elise Stefanik for re-election. As in the past, the New York Conservative Party stands with her 100%. Elise has a critical role to play in the next two years as a senior member of House Leadership, the most senior elected official from New York and the bulwark against the Far Left’s 45 million dollar campaign to try to flip Conservative party-held seats in New York.”
New York State Conservative Party Executive Vice-Chairwoman Shaun Marie
“I’ve known Elise Stefanik, prior to her earning the title of Congresswoman and Elise is the same caring, down-to-earth person I meet years ago. Elise is one of the most dedicated people I know and focuses on the best interests of all her constituents and gives her all to help candidates who share our values. Congresswoman Stefanik’s rapid rise in Congress is proof that her dedication and understanding of our national problems is her greatest asset. New York State is fortunate to have a woman with her stamina (the Congressional District is the largest geographically in the Eastern United States) and a special love for her hometown North Country area, that includes the military stationed in Fort Drum. We continue to need Congresswoman Stefanik’s strong voice in Congress standing up for us.”
