Statement to America From NY-21 Republican Country Chairs Endorsing Congresswoman Elise Stefanik For House Republican Conference Chair
Washington, DC – Following Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (NY-21) officially entering the race for House Republican Conference Chair, all twelve NY-21 Republican county chairs released the following statement supporting Stefanik’s candidacy:
As the 12 County Chairs in NY-21, we are incredibly proud to endorse
Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for House Republican Conference Chair. Elise has been a fighter for her constituents and a defender of our conservative values in Washington. She has been a champion of our law enforcement community, helped rebuild our military, protected our farmers, brought vital jobs back to NY-21, defended our second amendment rights, and has been a leading voice against Governor Cuomo’s criminal behavior.
Elise has played an instrumental role in growing our party at the state level and has helped Republicans in the North Country win elections up and down the ballot. In the past year, she has worked hand in glove with us to register twice as many Republicans than Democrats across the district. We are confident that Elise will expand on that success as House Republican Conference Chair to fire Nancy Pelosi and flip the House. We are proud to fully support her candidacy.
Signed by,
Susan McNeil, NYS Regional Vice Chair, Fulton County GOP Chairwoman
John Gereau, NYS Regional Vice Chair, Essex County GOP Chairman
Clark Currier, Clinton County GOP Chairman
Karamarie Morton, Franklin County GOP Chairwoman
Clark Seaman, Hamilton County GOP Chairman
Sylvia Rowan, Herkimer County GOP Chairwoman
Don Coon, Jefferson County GOP Chairman
Gary Rosiczkowski, Lewis County GOP Chairman
Carl Zeilman, Saratoga County GOP Chairman

Slow Down and Enjoy The Beauty
The Jarvis & Union Roads are two of Peru’s most beautiful areas with the Green Mountains to the east and the Adirondacks to the southeast. Farmer/orchardist/town councilman Melvin Irwin lives along Union Road. Mel has many talents, one of those is tending to his many flowers, especially those tulips outside his home.

Governor Andrew Cuomo’s May 11 COVID Update
May 11, 2021.
As New Yorkers continue to get vaccinated each day, we are focused on rebuilding our state’s economy and look forward to a new economic future for New York. Today we announced the launch of “Reimagine, Rebuild, Renew,” a multimedia campaign designed to support the state’s reopening and to drive economic recovery. This campaign will promote our commitment to growing the economy, improving our infrastructure and helping small businesses as we build back from this pandemic. I hope you’ll join us in ushering in a reimagined New York.
Video of the Day: Watch the first “Reimagine” ad, featuring Robert De Niro.
Here’s what else you need to know tonight:
1. COVID hospitalizations rose slightly to 2,026. Of the 99,656 tests reported yesterday, 1,516, or 1.52 percent, were positive. The 7-day average percent positivity was 1.34 percent. There were 491 patients in ICU yesterday, down two from the previous day. Of them, 290 are intubated. Sadly, we lost 32 New Yorkers to the virus.
2. As of 11am this morning, 60.4 percent of adult New Yorkers have completed at least one vaccine dose. Over the past 24 hours, 111,833 total doses have been administered. To date, New York administered 16,938,242 total doses with 49.4 percent of adult New Yorkers completing their vaccine series. See additional data on the State’s Vaccine Tracker.
3. The FDA expanded the emergency use authorization of the Pfizer vaccine to include people ages 12-15. Tomorrow, the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), will meet publicly to review data and discuss whether to recommend the vaccine for this age group to the CDC director. Following the review, State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker will meet with New York State’s Clinical Advisory Task Force and make a final recommendation, which means we could have full authorization for vaccinations to begin for 12- to 15-year-olds here in New York as early as Thursday.
4. New York will participate in the federal partnership with Uber and Lyft to help vaccinate New Yorkers. Today, the White House announced a new partnership with ridesharing companies Uber and Lyft, which will offer free rides to and from vaccination sites from May 24 to July 4. More details will be forthcoming.
Tonight’s “Deep Breath Moment”: With baseball back, a Syracuse Mets fan was able to attend his 50th consecutive opening day game. Fairmont resident David Smolnycki has been attending opening day since he was sixteen. Although the 2020 season was canceled due to the pandemic, Smolnycki was able to reunite with his baseball family after 614 days, returning to MacArthur Stadium to resume his streak.

Ever Upward,
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo

“However, he said the real issue has been about retention. “We’ve had issues like where temps come in to work … they’re there for one day, and things appear to be OK, then they have their 9:30 break the next day and we just don’t hear from them and neither the temp agency or I can get a hold of them,” Pennefeather said. “It’s happened probably four or five times in the past six, seven months.”
