Trump-Aligned Lawmaker Elise Stefanik Announces Run for NY Governor
"Kathy Hochul is the Worst Governor in America, Stefanik said in the post. Under her failed leadership, New York is the most unaffordable state in the nation with the highest taxes, highest energy, utilities, rent, and grocery bills. When New Yorkers were looking for leadership from our Governor, she bent the knee to the raging Defund the Police, Tax Hiking Communist causing catastrophe for New York families."
"Hochul is also facing a primary challenge from her own lieutenant governor, Antonio Delgado. Last month, a shocking poll found Stefanik leads Hochul by one point (43%-42%) among registered voters. The same poll found that Stefanik would best Delgado by six points (43%-37%). When asked for comment by the AP, a spokesperson for Hochul's campaign pointed to a statement from the Democratic Governors Association, which said: Elise Stefanik has spent her career selling out New Yorkers to Donald Trump and that is exactly why she is going to lose to Kathy Hochul next November."
Rep. Elise Stefanik launched a 2026 gubernatorial campaign in New York, declaring a challenge to Gov. Kathy Hochul. Stefanik characterized Hochul as the worst governor and blamed her for high taxes, energy and utility costs, rent and grocery bills, and accused her of yielding to Defund the Police and tax-hiking forces. Hochul faces an intraparty primary challenge from Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado. A recent poll showed Stefanik leading Hochul by one point (43%-42%) and leading Delgado by six points (43%-37%). The Democratic Governors Association criticized Stefanik as aligned with Donald Trump and predicted she will lose to Hochul.
