| Welcome back to Team Elise's weekly newsletter! We send a weekly note to Elise's top supporters to update you on what she's working on in Capitol Hill and across NY-21! | | Here are a few top Team Elise updates and stories we have been tracking for the past week! | | Chairwoman Stefanik joins Sean Hannity | | Elise joined Fox News to discuss Kathy Hochul’s dangerous sanctuary state policies that put illegals first and New Yorkers last as well as the new polling out of New York which shows that if Elise Stefanik were to launch a campaign for Governor she would start out only down by ONE point! | | Elise Receives New York State Conservative Party’s Michael R. Long Award | | Elise was deeply honored to receive the Michael R. Long Award from the New York State Conservative Party at their third annual Welcome to Summer Dinner, a recognition named after one of her earliest mentors and dearest friends, Chairman Michael Long. | | Chairman Long was not only a powerful force in New York's conservative movement, but he was also a personal guide and source of strength for Elise during her time as a public servant. | | Also in attendance at the dinner were Chairman of the Republican National Committee Michael Whatley, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11), Rep. Mike Lawler (NY-17), New York State Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt, and Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay, who are all key partners in the fight to SAVE NEW YORK! | | “Thank you to the New York State Conservative Party for the honor of receiving the Michael R. Long Award this evening with the Long family present, especially Chairman Long’s wife Eileen and his children. I will never forget Mike’s extraordinary leadership - filled with integrity, strength, strong values, faith, and principles. I will forever be grateful for his deep friendship and guidance." | | Elise Traveling the Empire State! | | This week, Elise hosted an evening reception in Saratoga County, a campaign event in Manhattan, followed by a stop out in Suffolk County to support her good friend and colleague Rep. Nick LaLota, plus a visit to Smithtown for a GOTV event for Supervisor Ed Wehrheim. | | Everywhere she goes in the Empire State, Elise hears the same thing from hardworking New Yorkers: They're fed up with the crime and chaos that comes from Kathy Hochul's radical left policies. Whether it's in the North Country, Manhattan, or Suffolk County, the message is clear: It's time to SAVE NEW YORK! | | Elise Statement on Knife-Wielding Illegal Alien Who 'Confronted and Chased' U.S. Attorney in Albany | | Elise is sounding the alarm after a crazed knife-wielding illegal "confronted and chased" a sitting U.S. Attorney in Kathy Hochul’s Albany this week, a shocking incident coming off the wake of increased political violence of lawmakers in recent days. | | "In Kathy Hochul's New York, nobody is safe, not even President Trump's U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of NY John A. Sarcone III, who was 'confronted and chased' by an illegal alien armed with a knife in Albany last night, the Times Union reported.
Three separate times, Hochul signed executive orders to protect violent illegal aliens from deportation. Kathy Hochul puts illegals first and New Yorkers last. We desperately need a governor who puts New Yorkers first and restores law and order to our streets." | | Elise Slams Letitia James for Baselessly Investigating Local Law Enforcement for Enforcing Immigration Law | | This week, Elise called out New York Attorney General Letitia James for weaponizing her office to attack our brave local law enforcement officers that're simply doing their jobs upholding federal immigration law. | | While these illegal immigrants commit violent crimes across our state, AG James is busy TARGETING these sheriffs. It's an absolute disgrace and a clear sign that Albany's radical Democrats care more about protecting criminal illegal aliens than defending New Yorkers. | | “Kathy Hochul and Tish James’ New York is illegals first, New Yorkers last. This is a continuation of Kathy Hochul and NY Democrats war against law enforcement. Just last week, Kathy Hochul embarrassed all New Yorkers when she was unaware of the violent crimes committed by illegals against New Yorkers including being burned alive, raped, and molested. I fully stand behind President Trump, federal law enforcement, and our County Sheriffs who are working every day to restore law and order in our communities, fulfilling their constitutional oaths." | | Elise Introduces Legislation to Promote Workforce Development | | Elise introduced two new bills this week to create new job opportunities for Americans whose valuable skills cannot be measured by traditional academic standards.
These individuals, who contribute through hands-on work and real-world experience, are too often overlooked by hiring systems that prioritize academic credentials over practical ability and their ingrained work ethic.
These two pieces of legislation will encourage employers to hire Great American Workers with grit, determination, and ability who succeed in merit-based work environments. | | “Last month, “I am proud to introduce two bills to invest in workforce development and empower job creators to evaluate candidates based on what they know how to do, not whether they went to college.
The Employer-Directed Skills Act empowers job creators to provide workforce development opportunities that equip workers for in-demand jobs. The Advancing Skills-Based Hiring Act supports employers seeking to adopt skills-based hiring practices that prioritize applicants’ job skills and abilities over academic qualifications." |  | | Elise Requests SEC to Review Harvard’s Recent Bond Offerings | | Elise formally requested that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigate Harvard University potentially misleading investors by failing to disclose material information in connection with its recent bond offerings. As public trust in elite institutions continues to erode, Elise is demanding more transparency from tax-exempt Ivy League institutions that receive billions in public funding. | | “I asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to review Harvard University's recent bond offerings. I have deep concerns that Harvard potentially withheld material information from bondholders prior to its initial offering. As a tax-exempt institution with immense influence over public policy, academic standards, and federal research funding, Harvard should be held to the highest standard of financial transparency" | | Read the New York Post article here. | | Elise Conducts Medicaid Oversight to Ensure Eligibility Compliance | | This week, Elise took bold action to protect taxpayers and restore integrity to a broken system. While Left Wing politicians in DC and Albany turn a blind eye, she is stepping up to root out fraud, waste, and abuse in New York’s bloated Medicaid program, by fighting to make sure your hard-earned dollars go to those who need it, rather than illegal immigrants and fake recipients. | | “New York’s Medicaid program is grossly mismanaged and rampant with waste, fraud, and abuse. I am dedicated to ensuring that taxpayer-funded resources effectively support our nation's most vulnerable populations.
Recent media reports indicate that state Medicaid programs are failing to verify enrollee eligibility. This is not acceptable.
Today, I requested Medicaid contractors conduct a thorough review to ensure eligibility verification to help those in need." |  | | This week, Elise joined Newsmax’s National Report about the Worst Governor in America, Kathy Hochul, putting illegal aliens first, America’s role in preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and how she’s leading the way to eradicate antisemitism in higher education. | | “We need a governor who puts New Yorkers first, and Kathy Hochul puts illegals first and New Yorkers last. And let’s be clear about the $50 million slush fund. Those are taxpayer dollars of hard-working New York families, and the fact that Kathy Hochul wants to use our hard-earned taxpayer dollars to bail out illegals – New Yorkers, whether you’re Republican, Democrat, or Independent – that is not common sense.
I serve on the House Armed Services Committee as one of the most senior members. I serve on the House Intelligence Committee, and President Trump has been very clear for years, not just for this term, that Iran must not pursue nuclear weapons capability, and we strongly stand with Israel. Israel has a right to defend itself, and we are very proud of Israel’s strong national security policies to defend its nation.
These universities get billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer funds. We need to withhold these funds because these universities have failed to fix themselves. We also need to go at the heart of it and look at any foreign dollars that are flowing into our university systems. We have put forth legislation to address that, and there needs to be more investigations in that space as well.” |  | - TIMES UNION: Knife-wielding man chases U.S. attorney in downtown Albany
