Elise Stefanik vows to ‘clean up Kathy Hochul’s catastrophe’ as she launches New York gubernatorial campaign

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) launched her 2026 gubernatorial campaign Friday, pledging to “clean up Kathy Hochul’s catastrophe” and make New York “safe and affordable” if elected to Albany.

“Kathy Hochul is the worst governor in America,” Stefanik said in a statement on X.

“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.”
