Putnam County Executive Byrne Endorses Stefanik for Governor

Elise Stefanik is a highly-respected fighter for New York’s overburdened taxpayers. I’m proud to endorse her candidacy for Governor!

She’s ready to take her message of affordability, lower taxes, public safety, and common sense to the hardworking people of our state, from Buffalo to Bayside.

With people like Congresswoman Stefanik stepping up to serve and save our state, the future is looking brighter for New York. Onward to victory!

 Nine County Executives from across New York have endorsed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for Governor.

“I’ve known Elise for over a decade, and first met her when we campaigned side by side in 2014 when I was on the Lieutenant Governor ticket. Her commitment to lower taxes, support for small businesses, and public safety align with the Southern Tier’s priorities. Elise has consistently fought Albany’s mandates, overregulation, and rising costs that hurt New York families, just as we have in Chemung County. I am proud to endorse her and look forward to working together to bring her leadership to New

York.” – Chemung County Executive Chris Moss

“Elise has been a great friend and staunch advocate for Oneida county and all upstate New York. She continues to be my first call when dealing with federal issues and she never fails to answer that call, literally and proverbially. Whether she is advocating for our federal installations, like DFAS or AFRL (Rome Lab) or pushing for common sense conservative legislation in Congress, she has consistently been a champion for Oneida county, her congressional district, upstate New York and all New Yorkers. When she first considered running earlier in the year, I enthusiastically supported her then and I enthusiastically support her now that it’s official. I look forward to doing all I can to support her and ask Republicans and all New Yorkers looking for a change in state leadership to do the same.” – Oneida County Executive Tony Picente

“New York State is going 80 mph down a dead-end Street because of Hopeless Hochul’s lack of leadership and progressive pandering. My friend Elise Stefanik is a fighter who will save our state as Governor and return common-sense and a focus on making our state more affordable, safer and more welcoming to all families.” – Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin
