To the editor:

Dear Congressperson Elise Stefanik:

I heard on North Country Public Radio this morning that you have not accepted the fact of Biden’s win and are still talking about the election having irregularities.

One of your MAJOR claims during the election season was how well you worked across the aisle.

It’s time to step up then. Congratulate our next president and vice president, and help move the country forward. They have a lot of work to do, and frankly, so does the Congress. Get the Government Services Agency to release the transition funds, for one.

As someone who was very disappointed in your reelection, I congratulate you on your win and hope that you realize that this divided country needs ALL of us, officials and citizens, to set aside our differences and grievances and work TOGETHER in the face of the pandemic, climate change and racial injustice. When we work on these three agenda items, many other things will fall into place and America will once again be a leader among nations.
