My Congresswoman is Probably Replacing Liz Cheney in GOP Leadership.
Elise Stefanik is exactly what you would expect.
As I’ve written about before, I happen to be from Northern New York. The “North Country”. The most rural, largest, and one of the poorest parts of New York State so close to the Canadian border you can literally see Canada while driving along certain routes and even — on a clear day — driving down waterman hill eighteen miles or so from the border. It’s in the beautiful Adirondack foothills with lots of rolling farmland, charming little towns, crab apple trees, and of course, the occasional Confederate Flag and even more abundant Trump flags and bumper stickers that continue to be proudly displayed going on five months into the Biden administration. The “North Country” I’ve called home since I was four years old also happens to be part of New York’s 21st congressional district, with none other than Elise Stefanik as our elected representative. The congresswoman who is now poised to replace Liz Cheney as the GOP party chair.
Amidst all the chaos coming from the GOP in the wake of the 2020 election, Elise Stefanik is exactly who you would expect to rise from it.
