Conservative Champion and Congressional Leader Elise Stefanik Nominated for United States Ambassador to the United Nations

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) and ACLJ Action celebrate the nomination of Representative Elise Stefanik (NY-21) for United States Ambassador to the United Nations.  In this role, she will represent U.S. interests on a global stage and strengthen international partnerships at the United Nations. Throughout her tenure in Congress, Representative Stefanik has demonstrated leadership in national defense, foreign policy, and advocacy for constitutional values.

As a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee and Republican Conference Chair, Representative Stefanik has been a leading voice for modernizing and securing our nation’s defense capabilities and strengthening U.S. military readiness. A hallmark of her legislative agenda has been fighting antisemitism and an unwavering commitment to the U.S.-Israel relationship. To that end, Representative Stefanik has consistently backed funding and support for Israel’s defense systems, such as the Iron Dome, and has fought against the anti-Israel biases of international organizations. We are particularly excited about the new opportunities this role will provide her to advance America’s alliance with Israel as we work toward lasting peace and security in the Middle East.

We are excited that our great friend and conservative ally, Representative Elise Stefanik, has been nominated to serve as the chief representative of United States interests at the United Nations. Her experience, dedication, and clear vision will serve all of us well on the world stage as she advocates for American values, human rights, and global peace. In an age of increasing antisemitism and anti-Israel bias at the United Nations, Congresswoman Stefanik has been a steadfast ally and advocate for Israel, valiantly standing with the Israeli people and promoting the U.S.-Israel relationship. We are confident that her leadership at the United Nations will continue to reinforce the strong bonds between our nations and promote a peaceful, more stable Middle East. We look forward to continuing working with her in her new capacity as U.N. Ambassador, including through our European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ), which has held special Consultative Status before the United Nations since 2007.
