Stefanik Says She Is Quitting the Governor's Race and Won't Run for Reelection

[Rhiannon12866]

53. Yay! Nice to know you, I just knew that there were more of us here!

And I was in District #20 until we got redistricted in 2013, I grew up in Saratoga now live just north of Glens Falls. My personal favorite was Rep. Scott Murphy who is local to me and I worked on both of his campaigns, he won the special election to replace Kirsten Gillibrand who had been appointed senator when Hillary Clinton became President Obama's Secretary of State. But then he lost the second election to a Republican who supported "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." *sigh*

And good for you! Not to mention that Stefanik just gets worse over time. I remember the protests when she first took office so I have no idea how she's managed to hang on this long. She got much worse after appearing on national TV alongside Gym Jordan during the first impeachment hearing and it's been downhill ever since. On election night 2022 there was a Republican meetup at the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls and my friend told me that she took the opportunity to be the first to endorse the convicted felon for 2024.

I know that she got boo'd off the stage in a rare public appearance up north in Plattsburgh, so maybe she took the hint. So glad to meet someone else from District 21 who is glad to see the back of Stefanik, finally. I actually have two friends here on DU, the friend who told me about DU and the friend who joined after I recommended DU to her, but most everyone I know feels exactly the same.

Good to meet you, my new DU friend! Here's hoping that we go back to Democratic leadership here in District 21!!!
