Tague Endorses Stefanik

Assemblyman Chris Tague represents the 102nd Assembly District, which includes Greene and Schoharie counties, and parts of Albany, Delaware, Otsego, and Ulster counties.

SCHOHARIE — State Assemblyman Chris Tague (R,C–Schoharie) proudly announced his endorsement of Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for Governor of New York, saying it’s time to bring what he describes as strength, sanity, and common sense back to Albany.

“Elise Stefanik has been a fighter from day one,” said Tague. “She doesn’t back down from the radical left, she stands up for our police, she defends parents, and she’s never afraid to say what hardworking New Yorkers are thinking. Elise has the grit, the guts, and the know-how to turn this state around and I’m all in.”

Tague blasted the direction New York has taken under one-party control, pointing to rising crime, crushing taxes, and an exodus of families and businesses. “Albany’s become a circus run by extremists who care more about criminals and handouts than the people who get up every morning and go to work,” Tague said. “Elise Stefanik represents the opposite, she represents the New York-proud values that built this state.”

Calling the 2026 election a defining moment, Tague said Stefanik’s leadership would restore balance, accountability, and hope. “This race isn’t just about politics, it’s about survival for upstate and rural New York. Elise understands us. She’s lived it. And she’ll fight like hell for us every single day.”

“I’m proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with Elise Stefanik,” Tague concluded. “Together, we’re going to send a message loud and clear: New York belongs to the people again, not the politicians, not the bureaucrats, and definitely not the radicals running the show right now.”
