DGA Statement on Rep. Elise Stefanik Considering a Run for New York Governor

New York Republicans are staring down a messy and chaotic Republican primary. According to bombshell new reporting, Trump loyalist Elise Stefanik is considering jumping into New York's gubernatorial primary. That could pit her against her fellow House colleague Rep. Mike Lawler and Trump acolyte and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman - who was recently at the White House for Trump's disastrous tariff announcement. All three have a record of supporting Donald Trump's disastrous policies - from taking away health care to give tax breaks to billionaires to the tariffs hurting New Yorkers.

"New York's Republican primary is set to be a nasty and vicious race to see who can be the Trumpiest - and most out of touch with New Yorkers," said DGA spokesperson Kevin Donohoe. "All three potential candidates in this race are running to bring Donald Trump's extreme agenda of raising costs and taking away fundamental freedoms to Albany - and could not be more out of step with New York."
