Elise Stefanik Proves She is the Consummate D.C. Insider by Choosing to Give National Address While Refusing to Talk to Local MediaPLATTSBURGH, NYToday, Aaron Woolf offered a point by point criticism of Elise Stefaniks Republican address that he argues was both misleading and void of substance. And one of the most important takeaways is that by giving this addresswhile refusing to make herself available to the local pressStefanik has proven herself to be the consummate D.C. insider. Just ask the editorial board of the Glens Falls Post Star.
Hi, Im Elise Stefanik, and Im running for Congress in New York's 21st District. I'm proud to say I was born and raised in Upstate New York.
Elise Stefanik has no ties to the district. She was born and raised in Albany; attended the Albany Academy for girls; went to college at Harvard; then spent a decade in Washington as a D.C. insider. She then moved to her parents summer home in Willsboro for one year just to lay the foundation for her run for Congress. The only property she owns is in Washington, D.C., a $1.2 million townhouse on Capitol Hill. In fact, it isnt even clear if she pays property taxes in the district.
Aaron Woolf, on the other hand, has ties to the North Country dating back to 1968 when his family first bought a home in Elizabethtown. Aaron spent much of his childhood in E-Town and attended college just 45 minutes away. Because E-Town is the only place he has consistently called home, Aaron lives there with his wife and daughter, who attends preschool in Essex County.

But she has the support of Karl Rove. That's the last thing we need...

(225,914 posts)5. I met Aaron Woolf at the initial "meet and greet" he had in Queensbury
Heard him speak and was very impressed. He sure seems like the real deal, unlike Elise Stafanik. I've made GOTV calls for him, expect to be doing more as we get closer to the election.
