The Issue: Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik launching her 2026 gubernatorial marketing campaign.
If New Yorkers have a modicum of common sense, they need to overwhelmingly vote to elect Elise Stefanik as their subsequent governor (“Stef out to save the state,” Nov. 9).
She’s a well-respected, assertive and well-spoken chief. Gov. Hochul is indecisive and compromised by the left, as evidenced by her endorsement of Zohran Mamdani.

New York Dems now face a critical problem — not as a result of Stefanik appears to be a robust candidate, however as a result of they’ve achieved so little to deal with the issues of working people, regardless of controlling Albany for years.
I doubt any New Yorkers can pinpoint a single factor Democrats have achieved lately that has made their lives discoverably higher relating to wages, food costs, health-care prices or the rest.
