Here are a few top Team Elise updates and stories we have been tracking for
the past week!


Elise Provides Deciding Vote for One Big Beautiful Bill, Unlocking President
Trump’s America First Agenda


This week, the House Republicans worked nonstop for the American people and
passed the One Big Beautiful Bill, an historic piece of legislation that will
bring about President Trump’s Golden Age of America for generations to come.

Elise is proud to stand with President Trump and serve this Great Nation.


Elise stated —


“I was proud to be the deciding vote to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill, a
historic victory for New Yorkers and President Trump's America First agenda.

More than 77 million Americans gave House Republicans and President Trump a
mandate to cut taxes, secure our borders, restore energy independence, and
deliver peace through strength.

This legislation includes key provisions that will benefit hardworking New
York families. I was especially proud to work with my New York Republican
colleagues to lead on delivering significant tax relief for New Yorkers by
increasing the State and Local Tax cap by 300% – a win for hard working
families struggling under the weight of the highest tax burden in the nation
because of Gov. Kathy Hochul's failed Far Left tax and spend Democrat policies.

Some additional provisions include:

Delivering the largest tax cut in American history, No tax on tips and no tax
on overtime, Protecting Medicaid for Americans by removing 1.4 million
illegals, Making permanent President Trump’s border security, Modernizing air
traffic control, Ending taxpayer-funded sex changes for minors, Delivering tens
of billions of dollars in expanded ICE detention and calls for hiring a minimum
of 10,000 new ICE agents, Including $25 billion for President Trump’s Golden
Dome, a layered missile defense shield for America, Holding woke, elite
universities accountable by increasing the university endowment tax and
subjecting the largest endowments to the corporate tax rate, Reversing Joe
Biden’s EV mandates and CAFE standards for passenger cars and light trucks,

I urge the Senate to immediately pass our historic legislation to enact the
One Big Beautiful Bill and ring in the Golden Age of America."

Elise Statement on the Tragic Murder of Two Young Israeli Embassy Staffers


An innocent young couple, soon to be engaged in Jerusalem, were tragically
murdered on the streets of our nation’s capital on Wednesday by a pro-Hamas
terrorist. Our nation mourns the loss of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn
Milgrim, two young Israeli Embassy staffers who had such bright futures cut
short by this evil antisemitic terrorist. We pray for their loss and their
families in this most heartbreaking time of unimaginable pain.


Elise stated –


“Horrific. The shooting outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. is a
heinous act of antisemitic murder and terrorism. U.S. law enforcement must use
every tool at its disposal to investigate and prosecute these evil criminals.
The U.S. must continue to stand with our most precious ally Israel and work to
eradicate this vile antisemitism raging in our streets and around the world.”


Elise Attends the Schoharie County Annual GOP Lincoln Day Dinner


Recently, Elise attended the Annual GOP Lincoln Day Dinner in Schoharie
County, where she served as the Keynote Speaker. The attendees were fired up
and excited to get to work all over New York and the North Country to fire
Kathy Hochul in 2026!


Elise stated –


“Packed house at the Olde Tater Barn in Schoharie County for the Annual GOP
Lincoln Day Dinner! Thank you to America’s Assemblyman Chris Tague for the
incredible event and honor of serving as the Keynote Speaker. Appreciate county
committees coming from all across Upstate. Lots of energy to elect Republicans
and Save New York!”


Assemblyman Chris Tague stated –


“Schoharie County = Elise Stefanik Country!”

Elise Supports DOJ Investigation Into Disgraced Former Governor Andrew Cuomo


This week, the U.S. Department of Justice launched an investigation into
former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s fatal nursing home executive order and
cover-up.


Elise stated —


"This is a long-awaited and important step for much-needed accountability for
New Yorkers. The Department of Justice investigation of disgraced former
Governor Andrew Cuomo for his fatal nursing home executive order, cover-up, and
lies to Congress is a much-needed step toward justice for the more than 15,000
New York seniors who lost their lives. This is also incredibly important for
the families who have advocated tirelessly on behalf of their loved ones.

For years, I led the charge to deliver answers and accountability for the
heartbroken families across New York who lost loved ones because of Cuomo’s
criminal corruption. From calling for independent federal investigations as
early as 2020, to advocating to the DOJ and HHS alongside my New York
Republican colleagues, to leading tough questions during a transcribed
interview with Cuomo in June 2024, I have never wavered in my commitment to
these grieving families.

The bombshell revelations of Cuomo’s administration intentionally withholding
nursing home death data, as admitted by his senior aides, and his refusal to
accept responsibility for the deadly March 25, 2020, directive that forced
nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients, represent a betrayal of public
trust at the highest levels. His attempts to stonewall Congress and peddle lies
to cover up this tragedy only deepen the pain of New Yorkers who deserve
transparency and justice.

I will continue to fight tirelessly on behalf of New York families who have
suffered unimaginable loss to ensure that Cuomo faces the full legal
consequences of his actions and that such a tragedy is never repeated.

The day of reckoning is here, and I will not rest until justice is served for
the people of New York."

Elise Demands Transparency from Harvard Over Alarming Ties to Chinese
Communist Party, Iran


Earlier this week, Elise, along with Rep. John Moolenaar and Rep. Tim Walberg,
issued a formal request to Harvard University seeking internal records and
correspondence related to the school’s ties with foreign adversaries.

Elise issued the following statement upon demanding transparency from Harvard
University President Alan Garber, regarding evidence of repeated interactions
and collaborations between Harvard faculty and Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
entities.


Elise stated –


“Harvard University must be held accountable. I demand full transparency and
immediate cooperation with the Select Committee’s investigation. We must ensure
that no American institution enables the CCP’s military modernization or the
Iranian regime’s technological ambitions — especially under the guise of
academic exchange.

Harvard University’s actions represent a grave betrayal of the American
people, our national security, and the foundational values of academic
responsibility. Any institution of higher education that accepts taxpayer
support must uphold the laws of our nation, protect our national interests, and
act ethically. Harvard's alleged conduct — including training members of a
sanctioned Chinese paramilitary group and conducting joint research with
Iran-backed and PLA-linked institutions — raises serious legal, moral, and
national security concerns.These actions appear to directly contradict U.S.
sanctions law, and they may have actively aided genocidal actors and hostile
foreign militaries.”

WATCH: Elise on Fox Business’s Mornings With Maria


Earlier this week, Elise appeared on Fox Business’s Mornings With Maria with
Maria Bartiromo to discuss President Trump’s big beautiful bill, Communist
Chinese and Iranian collaboration with Harvard, and the need to FIRE Kathy
Hochul to Save New York!


On the Big, Beautiful Bill, Elise stated –


“What I believe is most important is President Trump's agenda. This is our one
opportunity to deliver for the American people. We need to see that as the
result. So this is about extending tax cuts. It's no tax on tips, no tax on
Social Security, unleashing American energy independence and securing the
border once and for all, which President Trump has done by executive action,
but we need to compact that and provide the federal funding to do so. That is
what this is about. And these details, while they are important, we need to not
let them get in the way from delivering on this for the American people.”


On Harvard's ties to the Chinese Communist Party and Iran, else stated –


"It is deeply, deeply disturbing, Maria, and this is an area where I have led
in terms of oversight and accountability these pirates of higher ed and
institutions that have lost their way. We spent a lot of time talking about US
taxpayer dollars, but what I'm deeply concerned about is these partnerships. In
addition to the abuse of US taxpayer dollars, it's partnerships with our
adversaries. By law, these universities have to disclose that to the Department
of Education. My concerns are that they have not abided by the law and that
they are pursuing partnerships with adversaries, whether it's the Iranian
regime or whether it's Communist China. This is not who we are. This is one of
the reasons why Secretary McMahon's actions to defund and pull back those
federal dollars is so incredibly important. This is a national security risk
for our country and for our next generation of students. So we're going to
continue to holding these university’s feet to the fire to answer these
questions and make sure that this foreign influence from adversaries, that this
infiltration of our higher education, higher education institutions, does not
continue."
