So Long, Stefanik

PLATTSBURGH CITY, NY   12-21-25

Elise Stefanik has announced she is no longer running for NYS governor and also she isn't seeking reelection in Congress.

As you can see in the accompanying photos Stefanik received a warm Plattsburgh City reception back in August when she was in town for a building dedication.  The photo with her standing at the podium: she looks disgruntled.  How can this be?


After her election to the House of Representatives Stefanik was a moderate but she ended up being sucked into President Trump's spell.  Or was it his spell?  Her critics said she was just an opportunist working her way up to more power and prestige.

She was nominated for ambassador to the UN but Dozing Decrepit Donnie put the kibosh on that.  He wanted her to remain in the House because the GOP had a slim majority.  After that rejection she decided to run for governor but now has dropped out.  The way citizens treated her in Plattsburgh City — vocal activists stopping her from finishing her speech — might have been in the back of her mind when she made her decision.

Democracy in action.
