REPORT: NY-21 Rep. Stefanik reportedly accepts Trump cabinet position

North Country Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21) has reportedly accepted a seat offered to serve on the cabinet of President elect, Donald Trump.

This development has surfaced from numerous sources. It’s reported that Stefanik has accepted the task of serving as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

In a released statement, Stefanik said that she is “truly honored” to be given the opportunity to hold a seat on Donald Trump’s administration.

Former South Carolina Governor, Nikki Haley, held the same position for a time during Trump’s first Presidential term, until resigning in 2018.

In response to this update, New York’s Conservative Party Chairman, Gerard Kassar, released the following statement. “President-elect Trump hit a grand slam homerun in appointing Congresswoman Elise Stefanik as the nation’s next U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations,” Kassar said.

"Congresswoman Stefanik is smart, savvy, and fearless in the face of adversity. She will represent American interests at the world body with a tenacity unseen in years. Americans should rest better knowing that Ambassador-elect Stefanik is guarding the gate at Turtle Bay. No wool will be pulled over her eyes.”
