BURNSVILLE, Minn. – Today, Republican House Chairwoman Elise Stefanik endorsed Joe Teirab for Minnesota’s Second Congressional District. Stefanik has served in the House since 2015 and represents New York’s 21st Congressional District.

“At a time when we need candidates for Congress that represent the best of our country and put America first, I am excited that Joe Teirab is running for Congress in Minnesota’s 2nd congressional district,” said Stefanik. “In getting to know Joe, I can tell you his motivations are faith, family, and country. From serving his country in the Marines to protecting Minnesotans by putting violent criminals behind bars as a federal prosecutor, Joe Teirab is a tremendous example of what I mean when I say ‘America First,’ and I am proud to endorse his candidacy.”

Since being elected to Congress, Stefanik has been instrumental in growing the ranks of female members of Congress. Her tireless work to recruit and help fund female candidates shows in the current Republican Majority.

“I am truly honored and humbled to receive the endorsement of Chairwoman Stefanik,” Teirab said. She is an absolute bulldog for our shared conservative values. I can’t tell you how happy I was watching her recent grilling of presidents of Ivy League universities after they refused to say if calling for the genocide of the Jewish people constituted bullying. I can’t wait to join Chair Stefanik in Congress and fight for the America First agenda.”
