Weekly civic intelligence report ยท v2.2
Republican Representative Elise Stefanik announced her candidacy for New York governor. This represents a significant political campaign announcement.
Standard gubernatorial campaign announcement with zero constitutional damage mechanism. Election driver scores minimal (1/5) as this is routine candidate entry, not election interference or integrity threat. No mechanism for constitutional harm identified. B-score elevated by media-friendliness of prominent House member announcement but remains low overall (7.73). Clear noise: routine democratic process, no institutional threat, narrow geographic scope, standard political calendar event.
Monitor only if candidacy involves abuse of federal office, campaign finance violations, or attempts to undermine election integrity. Otherwise: ignore as routine political noise.
