Watertown, NY: Congresswoman Elise Stefanik today announced the endorsement of eighty-two elected officials in Saint Lawrence County. The endorsements include officials across the political spectrum – Republicans, Democrats and Independents – representing every town in Saint Lawrence County.

The endorsements build on a robust grassroots organization in the region. As of today, Elise for Congress has already made over 20,000 voter contacts in Saint Lawrence County.

“As an Independent for 18 years, I am proud to endorse Representative Elise Stefanik for re-election,” said Hammond Village Mayor Shelly Youngs. “She has been a steadfast advocate for the priorities of our region. She is not only active in our communities, but takes time to listen to our local leaders across all party lines. I am excited to endorse her candidacy for re-election.”

“I’m honored to receive the endorsement of so many leaders across Saint Lawrence County,” said Congresswoman Stefanik. “From my first day in Congress, I’ve worked on a bipartisan basis with these leaders to deliver real results for families and small businesses in every town in the County.”
