Stefanik Responds to Doheny’s Announcement
Statement from Elise Stefanik for Congress campaign
Last year when I declared my candidacy for Congress, I did so based upon principles and my strong belief that Washington needs new ideas and new leadership. I first entered this race when it was toughest – against a third-term incumbent – and while the opponents may have changed, my campaign remains focused on bringing fresh energy, new ideas and a new generation of leadership to the North Country.
“As the only candidate in this race with small business experience in Upstate New York, I believe my background provides the experience and perspective needed to best advocate on behalf of the challenges of our struggling Main Street economy in the 21st District.
“Over the past year, I have crisscrossed the district and worked hard to build grassroots support. I am honored by the support and momentum my campaign has earned from Republicans, Conservatives, and Independents. Our campaign will continue to make the case that we have the best opportunity to win back this seat this Fall and provide new representation and new ideas to Congress on behalf of Upstate New York.
“I welcome the new candidates to this race and look forward to a robust discussion on the issues.”
