STATEMENT FROM CONGRESSWOMAN ELISE STEFANIK’S CAMPAIGN SENIOR ADVISOR ALEX DEGRASSE ON PAULA COLLINS:
“The desperate sick NY Democrats are so deranged and unethical that they imported the radical cannabis New York City attorney Paula Collins who has never voted in Upstate NY to run against Congresswoman Stefanik. Not only has this NYC Democrat candidate called to imprison Trump voters in “re-education camps” but also she is now committing election crimes as she is illegally using political donations to pay her rent at a Bed and Breakfast, something she has now admitted to after the announcement of an FEC investigation into her campaign. Collins’ defense of Kamalanomics and the failed Far Left Democrat open border policies of the Biden-Harris Administration show just how out of touch she is with the hardworking Upstate NY families. The Senate’s weak border bill would have only worsened the crime and humanitarian crises caused by our wide open borders, further devastating our communities. The Democrats’ Far-Left economic agenda decimated the thriving pre-pandemic Trump economy, undercutting American industry and Trump’s proven economic policies with massive spending and burdensome bureaucratic oversight that ushered in the highest inflation in decades and undermined our economic and national security. Paula Collins is going to be crushed at the ballot box just like every other NYC Democrat candidate they have desperately imported to Upstate.” – Alex DeGrasse, Senior Advisor to Chairwoman Stefanik
