FROM ASSEMBLYMAN JOE SEMPOLINSKI: I served in Congress with @EliseStefanik. She, personally, went out of her way to help me serve my constituents. I look forward to serving again with her when she becomes Governor of New York.
FROM CONGRESSMAN NICK LANGWORTHY: Hochul’s arrogance, failure, and betrayal have hurt working people across New York. Enough is enough. I’m ALL IN with my friend @EliseStefanik to take our state back for the people who Hochul forgot long ago! #FireHochul
FROM STATE SENATOR GEORGE BORRELLO: “Today is a great day for every common-sense New Yorker who believes our state must do better. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s decision to enter the race for governor marks the start of the fight to take back New York from the radical left and its enabler-in-chief, Kathy Hochul.
Under Hochul’s failed leadership, New York has become the number one state in the nation for outmigration — a statistic that says everything about how New Yorkers feel about the direction of our state. On her watch, the economy has weakened, taxes have risen and criminal-coddling policies have made us less safe. She has refused to end the state’s reckless sanctuary policies which have placed enormous burdens on our cities, taxpayers and safety net. Her record is a masterclass in mismanagement and everyday New Yorkers are paying the price.
In contrast, Elise Stefanik embodies the kind of strong, results-driven leadership New York desperately needs. The youngest woman ever elected to Congress and the first in her family to graduate from college, she has spent her career breaking barriers and defying expectations. She’s shown the courage and conviction to take on extremists in Washington and deliver real results, protecting small businesses, standing up for our military and veterans, and leading the charge for accountability in government and higher education.
New Yorkers are hungry for a governor who will fight for their safety, their freedom, and their future. Elise Stefanik’s candidacy is a much-needed breath of fresh air for everyone that’s tired of New York being at the bottom of every good list and the top of every bad one. It’s time for real change. Elise Stefanik can lead the restoration of our once great state. I look forward to supporting her campaign and helping her to turn New York State around.”
