DGA Statement on Elise Stefanik’s Decision to Drop Out of the New York Governor’s Race

Today, Democratic Governors Association spokesperson Kevin Donohoe released the following statement:

“Just like Mike Lawler, Elise Stefanik saw the writing on the wall and knew she would lose — big — to Governor Hochul. The fact that two major candidates who planned to run against Governor Hochul have now called it quits tells you just how formidable the governor is. With a record of fighting for New Yorkers on everything from lowering costs to public safety, Governor Hochul is in a commanding position to win reelection — and that’s why New York Republicans are scared to run against her.”
