My assessment : To me, Kirsten E. Gillibrand is a decent representative for my district. She focuses mainly on issudes affecting the state, however does not focus on individual communities. Although she maybe aware of issues throughout the state, she throws a blind eye towards those issues and focuses more on things such as ground zero and health care. I would not vote for Kirsten Gillibrand in the next election, I think that her rival Hillary Clinton was more focused on the welfare of the people than Gillibrand. Hillary found a way to balance financial, health, crime, drug, education, and tax issues with the help of the people. To me Kirsten Gillibrand is in office due to her popularity. (http://gillibrand.senate.gov) My assessment : To me, Charles E. Schumer is a great representative for my district. He was born and raised in Brooklyn, which shows that he knows alot about New York State and its people. The fact that this is his hometown makes me believe that he would go out of his way to provide for his community. He visits each and every county every year to make certain that issues are to a limit and that people are happy with his work. I would definitely vote for charles schumer again because his concern lies both on the state as a whole and also on the people who make NYS the beautiful place that it is. Chuck has been kept in office because of his wonderful personality and his drive to make NewYork a better place. (http://schumer.senate.gov) My assessment : To me, Clarke is a decent representative. After reading her biography i think that she is one of those people who come from nothing, and then when they make it in a high position, they tend to forget about where they come from. According to @http://clarke.house.gov/biography, she was once a part of the education and labor committee, the fact that she is not a part of it anymore makes me question what her values are. Does she really want to improve the lives of the people, or is she more interested in being liked and making money ? I would definitely not vote for Clarke if I was given the chance to and I think that she is kept in office because the fact that her mother was once in her position. My Assessment: Senator Eric Adams is the ideal senator for New York State. He knows alot about law enforcement and the community based on his 22 year career in the NYPD. Adams is determined to make NY a better state starting by decreasing crime rates. He feels as though everyones voice should be heard, no one should be ignored. I would definitely vote for senator Adams again because he is a black man who wants to improve living for his black community. I think that he is still in ofice because of his hard drive and the fact that he was once a cop makes him very well known.

Not only is he willing to make crown heights a better neighborhood financially, but also spiritually. He feels as though God is the answer to everything and along with being our neighborhood's representative, he can also be a spiritual leader. Camara is not only focused on problems pertaining to one race, but according to @http://assembly.state.ny.us/mem/karim-camara/bio, he also helps the white, jeish and hispanic community who resides in crown heights. I would definitely be voting for Camara because he is highly involved with the public, he visits schools and parks in his area, and he is also a close friend of our president Barack Obama. I think that Camara's positive spirit is what kept him in office, and will continue to kee him there. My Assessment : To me, Letitia James is more of a family person, she is not fit for the position of local legislature because she focuses mainly on minor problems such as giving grandparents rights in family courts and fixing shuttles. It seems to me that the communites opinion is not really included in her decision. She needs more experience in this field, which is why I would not vote for her. I think that what keeps her in this position are the material things she does instead of things to improve the community as a whole. (http://councilpedia.org)
