Elise Stefanik

Elise Marie Stefanik ( stə-FAH-nik; born July 2, 1984) is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for New York's 21st congressional district since 2015. As chair of the House Republican Conference from 2021 to 2025, she was the fourth-ranking House Republican. Stefanik's district covers most of the North Country and the Adirondack Mountains as well as some of the outer suburbs of Utica. In addition to being the first woman to occupy her House seat, Stefanik was 30 years of age when first elected to the House in 2014; at the time, she was the youngest woman in history to be elected to Congress. Stefanik was elected as a moderate Republican. However, she has since moved considerably towards the right, as she aligned herself with President Donald Trump during his first term in office. She strongly opposed the first impeachment of Trump in 2019 amid the Trump–Ukraine scandal and backed Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election, objecting to Pennsylvania's electoral votes after Trump supporters were involved in the 2021 United States Capitol attack. As the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack began to investigate, Stefanik claimed that Speaker Nancy Pelosi was responsible for the attack. Stefanik was elected chair of the House Republican Conference in May 2021 after incumbent Liz Cheney was removed due to her opposition to then-former president Trump. Known for her pro-Israel beliefs, Stefanik gained national attention in December 2023 for her intense questioning of university presidents during a widely televised U.S. congressional hearing on antisemitism. Stefanik's questioning contributed to the subsequent resignation of Liz Magill, the president of the University of Pennsylvania. Stefanik was awarded the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson Defender of Israel Award by the Zionist Organization of America. She has supported the view that Israel has a "biblical right" to the occupied West Bank. On January 20, 2025, President Trump nominated Stefanik to serve as the United States ambassador to the United Nations. However, on March 27, 2025, Stefanik's nomination was withdrawn amidst concerns about how her departure from the House would affect the thin House Republican majority. On June 27, 2025, it was announced that Stefanik is expected to formally announce her candidacy for the 2026 New York gubernatorial election.

Elise Marie Stefanik (/stəˈfɑːnɪk/; born July 2, 1984) is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for New York's 21st congressional district since 2015. As chair of the House Republican Conference since 2021, she is the third-ranking House Republican. Stefanik's district covers most of the North Country and the Adirondack Mountains, some of the outer suburbs of Utica and the Capital District in New York. Stefanik was 30 when first elected in the 2014 U.S. House of Representatives elections in New York (District 21), the youngest woman elected to Congress at the time. Initially elected as a moderate conservative, Stefanik has shifted increasingly to the political right, aligned herself with then-President Donald Trump. She strongly opposed the first impeachment of Trump in 2019 amid the Trump–Ukraine scandal and backed Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election, objecting to Pennsylvania's electoral votes after Trump supporters were involved in the 2021 United States Capitol attack. As the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack began to investigate, Stefanik said that Speaker Nancy Pelosi was responsible. Stefanik claimed without evidence that Pelosi was "aware of potential security threats to the Capitol and she failed to act". Stefanik was elected chair of the House Republican Conference in May 2021 after incumbent Liz Cheney was removed.
