ASSESSMENTS Charles Schumer born and raised in New York knew firsthand what it was to be a “New Yorker”. Being in the Democratic Party he has accomplished many great feats, such as raising the minimum wage, preserving the independence of U.S. Attorneys and removing politics from the courts by leading an investigation into the mass firings of U.S. Attorneys for political reasons, substantially increasing funding for state and local task forces dealing with internet crimes against children along with many others. Starting his political years as a Member of the New York State Assembly from the 45th District, to next become a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New York's 9th District, following that he became Chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, to now become and still is an United States Senator from New York. Schumer I believe is a representative of not just my district but of New York because he experienced how us New Yorkers especially from Brooklyn view things. I would vote for him because he seems to be a very intelligent man with a great sense of humor after meeting him personally. The leadership qualities that I see in him that help keep him in office was his drive to make others have the determination to push themselves and be the best that they can be. []

__**Kirsten Gillibrand **__ Born in the middle of it all Albany, NY Gillibrand was basically ready to become a New York State official. Starting out as a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New York's 20th district to become a United States Senator from New York Gillibrand proved that nothing can stop her. Taking her stand and pledge that she would fulfill her duties as a senator in January 2009 Gillibrand showed she would overcome whatever obstacles she’d face. I would vote for her because she has proved to me that she is very opinionative by showing both her liberal and conservative side many might find that very confusing and call her a “flip-flop”. Gillibrand represents my district well because she empowers others to do better and give hope to those who need it. She is very similar to her senior Charles Schumer. []

**__Yvette D Clarke __**

Born in Brooklyn to parents of Caribbean descent and a mother who was in a high political position Yvette Clarke has opened the eyes of many people who would come to this country with a dream in mind, to make it to the top. Clarke at first seem like the type to make everyone want to vote for her, with her promises that she will do this and do that she has yet to amaze us. I definitely would not vote for Clarke because she does not keep her word and she also is a bad example for those who want to make it as a US official. Also according to the NY Daily Times she is broke due to these circumstances: “Yvette Clarke shows supporters, staff good time and now she's broke”, were the headlines. A review of the latest federal campaign data shows Clarke has done a better job sporting supporters and staff to Broadway shows and Jay-Z concerts than fattening her coffers. She is not a good candidate **__. __**


 * __N. Nick Perry __**

As the member of the New York State Assembly from the 58th district Perry has shown us that you have to be determined have the will and drive to accomplish your goals. In 1988, Perry was unsuccessfully for a seat in the New York State Assembly's 43rd District, which covered East Flatbush and Crown Heights, where he lost to Clarence Norman Jr. I would still vote for Perry because he seems to be realistic likes a variety of things that would help his community. He is down to earth because he would get involved with the community by visiting schools and becoming “Doctor for the Day” at local hospitals and clinics. Even though he was born in a foreign country he still cares for New York as if he were a native.

__**Charles Barron **__

Charles Barron began his journey as an activist in 1969 when he joined the Harlem branch of the Black Panther Party. Ten years later, he met the Reverend Herbert Daughtry, Pastor of the House of the Lord Church and Chairman of the National Black United Front. On the local scene, Barron served as Vice Chair of the Area Policy Board of the Lower East Side of Manhattan where he had the responsibility of channeling millions of dollars of funds to local programs. Barron successfully secured and delivered over 10 million dollars for services and facilities in his district for youth programs, senior citizen centers, tenant associations, library and park renovations, a state of the art community center, and substantial new housing developments.

Comments: Marriler I think that you did a wonderful job on the whole project. However, there is no photo-peach to explain the representative that you chose to commend.
