OMG NO, how much TRAGEDY can our nation TAKE? "Elise Stefanik has suspended her campaign for governor of New York." [View all]
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) has suspended her campaign for governor of New York.
In a statement on Friday, the Republican lawmaker said that running for governor was "not an effective use of our time or your generous resources."
"I am truly humbled and grateful for the historic and overwhelming support from Republicans, Conservatives, Independents, and Democrats all across the state for our campaign to Save New York," Stefanik said, noting that New York was a "challenging state" for Republicans.
"And while many know me as Congresswoman, my most important title is Mom. I believe that being a parent is life's greatest gift and greatest responsibility," she continued. "I will feel profound regret if I don't further focus on my young son's safety, growth, and happiness - particularly at his tender age."
