__**Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand**__

Gillibrand is a representative of my district because she makes changes and creates laws to the issues that matter to me the most such as education. She voted 'yea' for the college student relief act. This act reduces the rate of loan from 6.8% to 3.4% by July 2011. Also, for the Preventive Service Coverage, she voted ‘Yea’ for the woman, infant and children getting health coverage and not being denied to financial issues or household income. I would vote for Gillibrand in the next election if I had the ability to vote because I believe that Gillibrand stands up for the issues that are mostly important to middle class people such as healthcare/education/abortion/ and crime. Gillibrand understands the struggles the low income/ middleclass citizens face everyday. By voting for Gillibrand, our calls would be answered by her making amendments to give us a better government. Kirsten does have the leadership qualities that our state needs. Gillibrand puts first things first when she comes across an issue. Her objective in her career is to create a better government for the people. By sharpening the saw, interest groups and citizens will support her for another year in office.

__**Senator Charles E. Schumer**__

Charles Schumer wants a safer community in the New York area which helps the people live in a safer place. Charles’s decisions affects my community because the laws that he passes such as thye legislation of cracking sown child predators on the internet will be safer for my community to live in. And also living without the fear of predators kidnapping the innocent. I would vote for Schumer because Schumer stands up for what’s right for the people. He shows courage and strength in order for the people to get what they deserve. Schumer goes to the source of the problem and fight back for what the New York residents want. The leadership qualities Charles Schumer has is that he is someone who seeks first to understand then to be understood. He reached out to the communities who suffer the most from the popular issues that affect the world today. This quality makes him standout from the rest and develop popularity from the middle class.

__**Edolphus Towns**__

Edolphus Towns does not represent my district because the issues that he votes on have very little or no effect to my community. As a representative of Brooklyn, Towns should focus on the issues such as education, crime and healthcare. In my community there are no agricultural concerns due to the location. Towns focuses a lot of time on issues that do not affect my community. I would not vote for towns on the next election because he is not a man who represents the Brooklyn community the way he should. I consider Edolphus more of a Republican than Demcrat, Republicans support wealthy more than they support middle class. I do not reside in a wealthy neighborhood, my community deserves a representative that would bring us justice. The Leadership qualities Edolphus lacks is understanding the people that he is supposed to represent. For example he received low scores form interset groups with the issue of Budget, taxes and spending. If Ed Towns would listen to the issues of Brooklyn, he would have made the right decisions and make Brooklyn a better place to live and have an understandable government to live in. However, Towns acts more like a republican, making it easier for the wealthy to be able to live under the governments policies.

__**John L. Sampson**__

Sampson represent my district fairly well because the laws that he passes or the key issues he votes for do not affect my community. His legislation affect the city and its residences. The issue that I am concerned about taxes for the middleclass. The interest groups gave Sampson low ratings because they feel he does not support what he thinks about the middle class keeping the money that the citizens worked hers for. In times like these, citizens need every dime that they get in order to make ends meet. I would not vote for Sampson in the next ekection unless he promises to make his second term better than the first. Sampson has to be active in office and fight for what is right for the people. If he is not bringing people what they deserve than he would not have the opportunity to be voted in office again. The leadership qualities that helped him get elected was his public speaking qualities and the fact that the issues thast he would stand up for would get him to be recognized by many.

__**Alan M. Maisel**__

Maisel is a good representative of my district. The issues that really mattered in my district were the addressed during the time hwe coted on what he believes should be put up with. Every other issue deals with New York State in general. Developing broader issues will help Maisel with the Mill Basin community in great ways. I would vote for Maisel in the next election because he stood up for all of the problems that affect us. Such as crime and housing. Making Mill Basin an even safer place to live and making the rent affordable will drive him on the path to success with his next election. Maisel’s leadership qualities greatly stand out. Satisfying the people with their needs and making himself easy to be contact will be a step up for the communities in the Mill Basin area that are in need. Maisel gets to the heart of the problem and fights back until we get what we deserve.

__**Lewis A. Fidler**__

__**Lewis A. Fidler**__

Fidler is a representative of my district because he fought to provide fundings for organizations such as, Summer Youth Employment and Senior Center Funding. In my neighborhood, there are a lot of senior citizens who need all the help that they can receive. These small acts can result into a difference in our local schools and centers for the youth and elderly. I would probably vote for Fidler in the next election because our district needs a representative that can make bigger chandes in the streets of district 46. We need changes in housing and more programs for the children to keep them off the streets. The Leadership qualities Fidler has is understanding the small problems that people face everyday. Fixing these small problems will stop the problems from increasing into a bigger problem.
