1) Kirsten Gellibrand is representative of my district and me because she protects women’s rights. She voted against the healthcare legislation, which wouldnt allow women who are getting abortions to use insurance for it. Also she cares for economy, she passes legislations that would help people keep their jobs, and also she created better economic opportunities for veterans returning home. And she protects gay people’s rights who are in the army, by repelling to the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Also she cares about working families and struggling families and she cares about education, making it more affordable. And her main goals are to make the economy better than what it is. I would definitely vote for her again because she cares about important things like, healthcare and education making sure it’s affordable for everyone. And she’s doing everything she possibly can so that no one is unemployed. Another reason I would vote for her is because she’s doing everything in her power to make the economy better than it is and she protects women’s rights. I think her honesty and her positive decision making helped her stay in office. For example on ( [] ) it states that Senator Gellibrand has been committed to open and honest government. When she was first elected, she pledged to bring unprecedented transparency and access to her post. And her number one priority is to rebuild the American economy, by creating good-paying jobs, helping small businesses get loans, and partnering with the private sector to foster innovation and entrepreneurship.

2) Charles Schumer is representative of my district and me because he sponsors violence against women act to stop He was the leading sponsor of the Violence Against Women Act, to stop violence and sexual assault. Assault he sponsors hate crimes prevention act, which prevents criminals from committing crimes and thinking they ’ re not going to be prosecuted. Also improving New York is his main priority and he passing legislations that could actually help New York and its economy. I would vote for him because he is a leader and he is on most of the committees that could help the economy. Also he is against violence, which is one of the main problems in New York. I believe his focus and ambitiousness helped him stay in office because improving New York is his main priority. For example sponsoring violence against women act is one way that he is improving New York. And sponsoring hate crimes prevention act is another way he is improving New York.

3) Malcolm a smith is representative of my district and me because he used millions of dollars to help queens (where I live) to build affordable housing, improve school and create jobs for the unemployed. I would vote for him again because he cares about the economy, environment, communities, violence, and education. His focus helped him stay in office. His focus was to build affordable housing, education, and create jobs for the unemployed, so he used millions of dollars to improve all of those things.

4) William Scarborough is not representative of my district and me because it seems as though his only focus is on mental health and juvenile justice reform. I wouldn’t vote for him because he doesn’t bring enough to the table for me to want to vote for him, and he doesn’t seem convincing about improving all aspects of New York. He’s only focused on mental heath and juvenile justice reform. I don’t think he has any leadership qualities. Maybe his focus on mental health and juvenile justice reform helped him stay in office.  5) James Sanders is representative of my district and me because he helped Obama our president win the fight for NYC'S sixth congressional district. Also he traveled with our president to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and South Carolina. I would vote for him again because he’s dedicated to our president and make sure he does whatever in his power to help the economy. And all of his legislations were successful; also he puts a lot of hard work into improving the economy. His dedication helped him stay in office, he was obviously dedicated to president Obama if he went all the way to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and south Carolina to make sure that there was a change in the white house. Also he became one of Obama’s delegates.

6) Gregory Meeks is representative of my district and me because he cares about healthcare, education, and strengthening the economy in any way he can. Also he is dedicated to improving the economy because he passes legislations that all new Yorkers can benefit from. I would vote for him again because he cares about education, healthcare, and helping people get jobs. This is some of the ways this economy would improve. His honesty and dedication helped him stay in office. For example he passes legislation to save and create jobs, so no one would be employed. Another example is he developed healthcare legislation so people would have access to affordable and quality healthcare.
