Rep. Elise Stefanik Drops Out of NY Governor's Race, Won't Seek Reelection

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) on Dec. 19 announced that she would end her campaign to become governor of New York in the 2026 general election and would not seek reelection to Congress in the same year, thereby retiring from elected politics.

“As we have seen in past elections, while we would have overwhelmingly won this primary, it is not an effective use of our time or your generous resources to spend the first half of next year in an unnecessary and protracted Republican primary, especially in a challenging state like New York,” wrote Stefanik on social media about her decision.
