Stefanik is facing Matt Doheny in a primary for the Republican nomination in the race. Stefanik has the Conservative Party nomination; Doheny has the Independence Party nomination. The first debate between Stefanik and Doheny is tonight (watch it on Time Warner Cable News, formerly YNN, or follow it live on Twitter @ncpr) with the primary on Tuesday, June 24.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not a huge surprise that Romney, who&#8217;s weighing in on races all across the country (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/morningscore\/0514\/morningscore14070.html\">Roll Call<\/a>), would endorse Stefanik: She was a staffer for his vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan, who <a href=\"http:\/\/atr.rollcall.com\/paul-ryan-endorses-candidate-in-competitive-new-york-house-race\/\">endorsed her back in January<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northcountrypublicradio.org\/news\/story\/24966\/20140523\/ny-21-gop-primary-heats-up-but-who-s-paying-attention\">who&#8217;ll be appearing at a fundraising dinner for Stefanik on June 2 in Watertown<\/a>. In a press release, Romney said Stefanik \u201cunderstands the needs of small businesses and how to grow the local economy. She is a person of integrity.
