Elise Stefanik

New York 21st District Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has been reappointed to House leadership positions.

The New York State Conservative Party has named its top choices for the Republican nominee in the upcoming special election in the 21st Congressional District.

President Donald Trump’s nominee to serve as ambassador to the United Nations went before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee this week. New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik told the committee she will implement the president’s America First strategy while reviewing U.S. funding and potential reforms for the international body.

With New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik tapped to serve as President-elect Donald Trump’s UN Ambassador, potential candidates to replace her are emerging, including a Montgomery County businessman weighing a campaign.

If Republican New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is confirmed to serve as UN ambassador it would trigger a special election throughout her northern New York district.

Democrat Paula Collins is challenging incumbent Republican Elise Stefanik in the New York 21st District Congressional race. Collins was in Plattsburgh this week meeting with the Clinton County Democratic Committee.

Democratic leaders and people around the country continue to respond to Joe Biden withdrawing from the presidential campaign with endorsements growing for Vice President Kamala Harris to be the nominee.

New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik was in Plattsburgh Thursday to attend a ribbon cutting for a pharmaceutical repackaging facility. While there, the Republican held a rare media session with local reporters.

The New York state Board of Elections has determined that Paula Collins is the only Democrat that has qualified to run in this year’s race for the 21st Congressional district seat.

There will be no Democratic or Republican primary in New York’s 21st District Congressional race.
