President Trump has announced his endorsement of 21st Congressional District Representative Elise Stefanik.
Trump sent out a tweet Wednesday saying Congresswoman Stefanik, a fellow Republican, is strong on the Second Amendment and that she defends Americans from what he calls the lies of the radical left. Stefanik is being challenged for her seat by Democrat Tedra Cobb on Election Day.
In a statement, she thanked the president for his support. “I’m honored to be endorsed by President Donald Trump for re-election,” said Stefanik. “The vast majority of North Country voters support President Trump for re-election. Every week, I talk with voters all across the district who are excited to vote for Republican candidates on Election Day, and the energy up and down the ticket is historic. North Country voters know that both the President and I support the Constitution, the Second Amendment, and our brave law enforcement. In contrast, voters know that Taxin’ Tedra Cobb and Joe Biden’s basement campaigns are failing in the North Country, as they embrace an extremely unpopular government takeover of healthcare and support banning guns and defunding the police. I’m looking forward to outworking my opponent to earn a decisive victory in NY-21 in just 13 days.”
