Stefanik lying to her own constituents, SAYS COLTON RESIDENT
7/21/20
(ORIGINALLY pOSTED ON NORTHCOUNTRYNOW.COM)
At the Back the Blue rally in St. Lawrence County, Stefanik lied to her supporters about her political opponent, Tedra Cobb. She said, “I have an opponent who supports defunding the police” (Watertown Daily Times July 19, 2020).
That is not true! In June, Cobb stated, “’First and foremost I do not support defunding the police,’ Cobb wrote in an email. ‘But I do think we need reforms. . .’ Cobb has not released public statements on these [Congressional police reform] bills, but the Stefanik campaign sent out press releases with assumptions of what Cobb’s opinions are.” Stefanik didn’t respond to that reporter’s request for comments (The Adirondack Daily Enterprise, June 30, 2020).
The article is easily found on the web, so you can read for yourself details about Ms. Cobb’s positions on police reform, and her clear statement that she “[does] not support defunding the police.” Cobb’s campaign confirmed to me that her position has not changed.
Stefanik is lying to her own constituents, mirroring her mentor Trump’s style of fear tactics and boldfaced lies.
Tedra Cobb probably understands local law enforcement better than Stefanik does. Cobb worked inside of prisons and was a volunteer firefighter. Nationwide, we do need reforms: the rates at which Black Americans are detained, arrested, hurt and killed by police are horrific and must change. We must come together to stop dangerous practices for the good of everyone. Our own St. Lawrence County Sherriff Bigwarfe is already willingly working to meet new state standards (North Country This Week, July 14, 2020).
And where is Elise Stefanik? She is lying to us, the voters, in order to scare us and divide us. The truth is that law enforcement officers are not under attack, and Tedra Cobb does not want to defund the police. We deserve an honest, responsible, balanced representative in Congress, and that is Tedra Cobb.

When Russia put a bounty on American soldiers, @EliseStefanik looked on in silence.

She won’t take responsibility for anything. Not our national security, not our troops, and not her job. #Watch: pic.twitter.com/WFX3nydYr9
ELISE STEFANIK BROKE HOUSE ETHICS RULES & STEFANIK VOTERS GROW WEARY OF HER RECENT CONDUCT
2/28/2020
Yahoo News broke a story today that reveals that Stefanik violated House Ethics rules by using official floor proceedings in fundraising appeal(s) for her election campaign. A formal complaint has been filed with the House Ethics Committee. To put it simply, she used taxpayer funds to raise money for her re-election.

The Conversationalist published an excellent piece on this district and the differences between Stefanik and Tedra. We were really happy to see the author quote some reformed Stefanik voters who seem pretty upset with her recent conduct.
