Elise Stefanik is a Republican U.S. Representative serving New York’s 21st Congressional District since 2015. Born on July 2, 1984, in Albany, New York, Stefanik attended Harvard University before working in policy roles within the George W. Bush administration and on Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign. Known for her conservative positions and strong support of former President Donald Trump, Stefanik rose to prominence as one of the youngest women elected to Congress and quickly became a leading voice for her party. In 2021, she was elected Chair of the House Republican Conference, making her the third-ranking Republican in the House. Stefanik’s policy focus includes national defense, rural economic development, and reducing taxes, aligning her closely with the priorities of her largely rural upstate New York district. Her rapid rise in the GOP has made her a key figure within the party, especially among younger and pro-Trump conservatives.
