On July 15, 2025, Stefanik wrote about ongoing concerns regarding border security: “For years in Congress, I have been sounding the alarm on the Swanton Sector of our Northern Border national security crisis due to Joe Biden and Kathy Hochul’s open border policies.

The following day, she criticized local NPR affiliates and called for a change in federal funding: “As the local NPR affiliates hyperventilate with Democrat talking points, it is long past time to…
DEFUND NPR!
Let’s get it done once and for all!” (July 16, 2025).
Later that same day, Stefanik commented on New York Democrats’ record regarding subway safety by commending another official’s actions: “Great job by @SecDuffy exposing the horrific record of NY Democrats when it comes to subway safety.” (July 16, 2025).
