Representative Elise Stefanik, serving in the U.S. Congress for New York’s 21st district, shared her views on significant national security and local community issues through a series of Twitter posts on April 25, 2025. Elise Stefanik, 38, has been an active political figure since she assumed office in 2015, succeeding previous Congress member Bill Owens. She has a background in education from Harvard University and currently resides in Schuylerville.
On April 25, 2025, at 12:14:08 UTC, Stefanik expressed her support for former President Donald Trump’s decision to remove the immunity of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Referring to it as “an important act of moral clarity,” Stefanik highlighted her advocacy for holding the organization accountable. “I strongly advocated for this decision to allow victims’ families to pursue justice and expose UNRWA’s shameful complicity in terrorism. America must never protect.”
Later on the same day, at 13:10:13 UTC, Stefanik condemned the “heinous violence” that occurred outside the Chabad-Lubavitch world headquarters in Brooklyn. She described the incident where “pro-terrorist antisemitic anarchists” targeted the site as “horrifying and unacceptable,” emphasizing the use of “vile antisemitic death chants.”
Furthermore, at 14:26:24 UTC, Stefanik announced her request to South Dakota Governor, Kristi Noem, to designate Plattsburgh International Airport as a port of entry. She underscored the importance of the airport, stating, “The Plattsburgh International Airport is a vital economic engine within the 21st Congressional District of New York and provides essential transportation services for Upstate New York.”
Elise Stefanik has been a prominent figure in Congress, representing her district in New York for over a decade. Her recent statements reflect her continued focus on national security issues and local economic development.
