Stefanik for Empire State Gov?
According to a Politico report, New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is considering a run for Governor of New York; she recently forfeited her nomination for UN Ambassador to help maintain the GOP’s slim majority in the House.
From Politico:
Since giving up her nomination to be U.N. ambassador, Stefanik has been getting encouragement to run from in-state Republican leadership and donors along with close allies of President Donald Trump, the people said. They believe she is formidable enough to stand a chance in the traditionally blue state.
She’s had longtime support from Trump, who this morning posted about Stefanik on Truth Social, saying simply: “Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is GREAT!!!”
