ALBANY - NYGOP Chair Ed Cox released the following statement:

“Elise Stefanik is a Republican superstar. Her tenacity, intellect and tireless advocacy have made her one of the most effective voices for hardworking New Yorkers and all Americans. While her service at the United Nations would have made New Yorkers proud, her continued leadership in the House of Representatives is a victory for the American people.

“Elise is a fearless warrior for freedom and security on the world stage. She has been a steadfast champion of New York’s families, farmers and small businesses, relentlessly fighting to lower taxes, secure our borders and defend vulnerable students from campus radicals.

“With Elise continuing her leadership in Congress, we know she will be at the forefront of shaping a stronger, safer and more prosperous future for our country. We are glad that President Trump has announced that she will join his administration at a later date, and look forward to her future service driving a bold, America First agenda.”
