Elise Stefanik

North Country Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday as President Trump’s pick for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

Rep. Elise Stefanik has pledged to push President Donald Trump’s “America First” stance if confirmed as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and roll out a review of U.S. funding critical for U.N. agencies.

Rep. Elise Stefanik is likely to face questions at her confirmation hearing to become the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations about her lack of foreign policy experience, her strong support for Israel and her views on funding the U.N.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Schuylerville) is scheduled to have a confirmation hearing on her nomination as the next ambassador to the United Nations next Tuesday, Jan. 21.

President-elect Donald Trump has picked NY-21 Rep. Elise Stefanik to be the U.N. Ambassador in his next administration.

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Rep. Elise Stefanik to serve in his Cabinet as the ambassador to the United Nations.

Stefanik has emerged as one of Donald Trump’s biggest supporters, a position that plays well in the North Country where Trump won all but one county on Tuesday.

After Trump was found guilty on felony charges, Stefanik's campaign released a statement, followed by an updated statement that amplified corruption claims.

North Country Rep. Elise Stefanik made headlines last weekend on two separate occasions. On Sunday, she spoke with Israeli lawmakers, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That same day, Stefanik was interviewed on Fox News and was challenged about her prior criticisms of former president Donald Trump.
