Kathy Hochul (D-NY) in 2026.This initiative signals her serious consideration for challenging Hochul, particularly as she cultivates relationships with Republican leaders statewide. Stefanik has publicly stated that New Yorkers are ready for strong Republican leadership and has emphasized her fundraising success in the past.<\/p>\n<p>While she has not yet declared her candidacy, the PAC could bolster her position if she decides to run. Notably, local Republican figures, including Rep. Mike Lawler, have commented on the GOP dynamics, with Lawler subtly challenging Stefanik&#8217;s viability as a candidate. meanwhile, Hochul has largely ignored Stefanik&#8217;s prospects but recently criticized her regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/missouri-blocks-enforcement-of-federal-gun-control-laws-that-violate-second-amendment-rights-as-biden-pursues-gun-agenda\/\" title=\"Missouri Blocks Enforcement Of Federal Gun Control Laws That Violate Second Amendment Rights As Biden Pursues Gun Agenda\">state gun laws<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>In the context of voter sentiment, a May poll indicated that a majority of new York voters are seeking an choice to Hochul, further opening the field for challengers.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Elise Stefanik boosts local Republicans with new &lsquo;Save New York&rsquo; PAC ahead of gubernatorial decision<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2138722\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/elise-stefanik\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Elise Stefanik<\/a> (R-NY) announced her new PAC, &ldquo;Save <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">New York<\/a>,&rdquo; in a bid to shore up local New York Republican races as she approaches a decision on whether to run for governor of the state.<\/p>\n<p>The move is another from Stefanik that indicates she is seriously considering running against Gov.

Lawler was recently endorsed by President Donald Trump for reelection in his House district.<\/p>\n<p>Stefanik&rsquo;s PAC will only help her if she chooses to launch a gubernatorial campaign. She&rsquo;s proven herself as an adept fundraiser, raising <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/members-of-congress\/elise-stefanik\/summary?cid=N00035523\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">millions of dollars<\/a> in past years as a top House Republican.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It used to be all politics is local.
