The choice before us is stark and simple:

We can accept this rot and watch it spread, or we can repair this breach together.

I know what I'm choosing.

I believe with everything in me that we can build a better America, one where every person has a life of dignity and the freedom to thrive.

But that requires leaders with the courage to act when it matters most, even when it means standing up to your friends.

Elise has worked closely with and supported many of the leaders involved with the New York State Young Republicans.

We deserve to hear from HER directly, in HER own words, on the record.

I was raised in the pews of St. Michael's, where I learned that we are all called to be repairers of the breach — to stand in the broken places and restore them.

I'm calling on Elise to step forward and condemn these messages HERSELF, and not through an unelected spokesperson.
