Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress in November 2014. She has made her mark in Washington, working to protect student aid, ease burdens on military families, and prioritize funding for community health centers, among other worthwhile initiatives.
Her efforts are apparently not enough to protect her from what some are deeming sexist remarks and cracks about her youth.
Steve Krieg is a member of the Plattsburgh City School Board who is running for Stefanik's seat in next year's election. At a candidate forum Wednesday night, Krieg suggested that Stefanik is not quite mature enough for the duties of the office. It somehow has nothing to do with her age.
