To the editor:

Allowing Elise Stefanik to run for governor and/or being the next New York State governor would be a huge mistake and nightmare because she will do the same thing to New York State that Trump is doing to the rest of the country by laying off employees that work very hard at their jobs and for their families. She says that she will make New York State a better place to work if she’s elected governor but I know that’s false because she’s not very trustworthy and we need and deserve someone better than her or Kathy Hochul to lead New York State.

We need someone who can make it more affordable to live and work in New York State; someone who can make sure people who need to be in jail, stay in jail and make sure they get the punishments they need to get in jail for any misbehavior they cause on a corrections officer and/or on another inmate. If you think Elise Stefanik is not a good congresswoman she will be worse if she runs and/or gets elected as governor because she will slash and freeze state funding where it’s needed the most. If you think she’s a good congresswoman and would be a good governor then I feel bad for you because she only cares about herself.
