But after months of deliberating over this and really working through it, I&#8217;ve decided the right thing to do for me and my family and my district is to run for re-election.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Serving the Hudson Valley has been the greatest honor of my life, and I&#39;m proud of the wins I\u2019ve delivered for New York and the American people.

I will make a final decision and announcement after this year\u2019s November election which we are all focused on,&#8221; Stefanik added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Stefanik seems all but certain to run for governor, with a source familiar with her thinking&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/5371832-stefanik-prepares-launch-governor-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">telling&nbsp;<\/a>The Hill last month that \u201cit\u2019s not a matter of if, it\u2019s a matter of when.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Republicans have been hopeful that they could seriously compete for the office in 2026 after impressive performances in recent years. Hochul only won reelection in 2022 by about 6 points, a much closer margin than observers expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump also made significant gains in New York in last year\u2019s presidential election, while still falling short by double digits of victory in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color: #555555; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.2; padding: 0px; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8px;\">Advertorial Content<\/span><\/div>\n<!-- Image Thumbnail --> <!-- Title & Excerpt -->\n<table style=\"margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; width: 800px; min-width: 380px; background: #FFFFFF;\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"thumbnail\" style=\"padding: 0px 20px; vertical-align: top; max-width: 250px; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/amacaction.revv.co\/db4ce6ba3f5c8287?utm_term=db-amac-em10-138&amp;source_code=db-amac-em10-138&amp;utm_source=BDG-REV&amp;utm_medium=EM&amp;utm_campaign=20250116_BDG_AMAT_BNCV_BDG_REV_DB-DB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"width: 251px;\" src=\"https:\/\/library.iterable.com\/2510\/12573\/3d279834a3ef4110a2209e4964417a9f-amac_action_logo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"167\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/td>\n<td style=\"font-family: 'Droid Serif', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px 20px 20px 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: top; min-width: 220px;\">\n<h4 style=\"font-size: 25px; font-weight: 800; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: capitalize; font-family: Oswald, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><a id=\"h4-link\" style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/amacaction.revv.co\/db4ce6ba3f5c8287?utm_term=db-amac-em10-138&amp;source_code=db-amac-em10-138&amp;utm_source=BDG-REV&amp;utm_medium=EM&amp;utm_campaign=20250116_BDG_AMAT_BNCV_BDG_REV_DB-DB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A ticking time-bomb set by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to Hurt Elections<\/a><\/h4>\n<p style=\"color: #777777; font-family: 'Droid Serif', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; hyphens: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;\">They Must Be Stopped!<\/p>\n<div style=\"color: #025CBC; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;\"><a id=\"h4-link\" style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/amacaction.revv.co\/db4ce6ba3f5c8287?utm_term=db-amac-em10-138&amp;source_code=db-amac-em10-138&amp;utm_source=BDG-REV&amp;utm_medium=EM&amp;utm_campaign=20250116_BDG_AMAT_BNCV_BDG_REV_DB-DB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #E74C3C;\">SIGN THE PETITION!<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republicans are breathing a sigh of relief&#8230; On Wednesday morning, Republican Rep.
