Underscoring her campaign commitment to new ideas and a new generation of leadership for the 21st District, Representative-elect Elise Stefanik was elected today by her peers to serve as incoming class representative on the House Policy Committee.
Her election to the Policy Committee by a majority vote of newly-elected members of Congress places the Congresswoman-elect at the center of key policy decisions, and will help ensure the needs of North Country taxpayers are well represented in all forthcoming legislative policy debates. The representative to the Policy Committee serves as the liaison between the Freshman Class and the policy leadership in Congress with responsibility for coordinating and representing the views of her peers.
"I am so grateful that my peers in the incoming freshman class put their trust in me to represent them on the policy committee," said Rep.-elect Stefanik. "As I have said since day one of my campaign, I am focused on bringing new ideas to the table that will help bring jobs and improve the lives of North Country residents. This position is a first step in keeping that pledge to the district."
