How Elise Stefanik Became The Youngest Woman Ever Elected to Congress

Nice article on Elise Stepfanik, who was just elected congress criiter in the NY 21st CD.

In late summer of 2013, she drove an F-150 truck to methodically meet local Republican leaders in the vast district represented by a popular Democrat, Bill Owens.
“I had this 29-year-old political unknown who was introducing herself as willing to challenge an entrenched political incumbent,” recalled Ray Scollin, chairman of the Franklin County Republican Party, who found Stefanik on Twitter before meeting her in a Saranac Lake coffee shop last year. “I know a lot of people who thought of it as laughable.”....

Stefanik spent her days working for her family’s plywood company, checking her gmail in between stops and carrying a handful of palm cards to the smallest of GOP functions.

Amid all the doom and gloom we have people like Elise Stefanik to cheer us up.

It doesn't cheer me much to think that people will vote for someone over a gimmick like an old pickup, or standing in pig slop, or waving a gun around. But they do.

Good for her, in the 2010 and 2012 elections we had a injured veteran come forward to run against an entrenched veteran, Juan Vargas and they got no support from the GOP whatsoever because he was a tea party person. this time, because of the CA "top 2" rule, there were only 2 dems on the general ballot for CA-52.
