Throughout this crisis, U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik has made it her mission to keep the north country informed by any means necessary. In addition to her tele-town halls, she has also provided many ways to communicate with her in order to help north county families advance through these troubling times.
Even in the midst of a global health crisis, Rep. Stefanik is fighting for us and our families, not only representing our district on the House floor, advocating for the CARES Act but also on the legislative frontlines, co-sponsoring bills to ensure broadband connectivity for students and families now at home dealing with the coronavirus. In short, Rep. Stefanik is fighting for what matters both at home and in our capital.
Moreover, our congresswoman is both consistent in her regular social media updates, displaying true north country values, and informative, ensuring our district does not mirror the conditions seen downstate. And while attention is necessary downstate, I am 100 percent confident our north country is our congresswoman’s prime concern.
I can’t help but applaud the work Rep. Stefanik has done and will continue to do for this district. I look forward to all of her success ensuring the prosperity and health of NY-21 and to voting for her in the fall.

stefanik voted to repeal obamacare.
Another orchestrated letter it seems organized by the select Stefanik toCongress campaign. These are rob letters I think and I wouldn't be surprised if they were dictated by her campaign manager. Key characteristics: Unmerited praise, no details, counter to reality, and like all the rest appearing in the WT alternative facts--give me a break.
Precisely so.
(I am guessing that the part with "capital" (sic) was the author's own personal touch.)
Elise Stefanik is Trump's upstate cheerleader. And, as we all have seen, she is willing to do and say pretty much anything to advance her career.
She’s happy to put words into the mouth of the local supporters – and as Satorimark points out, there is a telltale character to all of these supposed letters to the editor – a quality that James Uhlinger of Carthage “cannot help but applaud.”
Yeah, right.
Stefanik has energetically maintained opposition to the affordable care act. She has repeatedly demonstrated a profound lack of concern about the actual health needs of those in her district. She and and her Republican colleagues are now following the Trump urging to "focus on the economy." It doesn't take much unpacking to realize that this is all about making Trump "look good" in an attempt to distract from the shameful job he has done during this pandemic. Basically, Stefanik has hitched her wagon to the Trump star – you know, the “when you’re a star they let you do it” guy.
Well, here is someone who boldly spelled out the Republican stance on dealing with Covid-19:
“GOP congressman: Dying from virus is 'lesser of two evils' if we can save economy”

If this pandemic has done nothing else, it should finally tear the "party of life" mask off the GOP permanently.
Talk about transparency.
Are you kidding me?? I wrote her a letter about a specific issue and got a totally non-responsive answer. Technically answered, but no actual communication on an important issue. It's not only insulting that she sends something like that to a constituent seeking information, it is a failure to do her job.
You mean lying to her constituents about China paying for the Coronavirus? Incredible people would be gullible enough to fall for that one. You mean supporting a president who called concern for Coronavirus “Their New Hoax” on February 20th at a campaign rally? Turns out putting a reality TV person as president at a time of crisis isn’t the best idea.
