This protest was organized Bethlehem NY Indivisible (with the assistance of other regional Indivisible chapters) to call out the harmful effects of the policies on our communities of Elise Stefanik and her MAGA GOP colleagues. Attendance was about 500 folks…many more than present at the picnic where Stefanik spoke. This is another of the hundreds of local protests across the USA against the Trump regime. I encourage you to make a sign or two, gather a few friends, and stand together on a street corner in your town!
Lots of good trouble in Delmar, NY today May 10, 2025.
A day in the park for Elise — and lots of protesters.
Stefanik to speak at GOP picnic in Bethlehem amid
2026 speculation
DELMAR—Rep. Elise Stefanik’s presumptive run for New York State governor runs through Bethlehem, as she’s scheduled to be a keynote speaker at an Albany County Republican Committee gathering at Elm Avenue Town Park on Saturday, May 10.
Albany County Republican Committee Chair James McGaughan clarified that the event is not a fundraiser for the North Country representative’s anticipated gubernatorial bid. McGaughan has organized the annual spring picnic in his hometown for the Bethlehem Republican Committee in previous years.
“She’s coming out of her own pocket to help county representatives,” he said, adding that he had asked the Feura Bush native to attend months ago. “She’s been very popular.”
Hundreds of people have turned out to show their opinion of her and the Republican Party. Bullhorns, honking cars, and lots of signs.
Police are present, but at a distance. The event is being held at a pavilion deeper in the park. The entrance is as far as we’re allowed to go.
Here’s some photos. I’m doing this from my phone, so excuse the funky formatting.
UPDATE:
Judging by the variety of signs protesting Trump and the GOP, never before has one man found so different ways to piss people off.
