__**Kirsten Gillibrand**__ Kirsten Gillibrand represents her district and me although she doesn’t have many accomplishments. On her website the phrases “works hard” and “fighting for” appeared countless times. Mrs. Gillibrand has only authored one bill. For her accomplishments I had to search multiple websites, which brought me to the assumption she didn’t have many. She lives upstate which explains why she is on the Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee. We agreed and voted on issues identically. We are both big on Pro-Choice, Education, Immigration, and Children. In the next election I am somewhat indecisive if I will give her my vote because she is really all talk. She says a lot of things but doesn’t follow up on many but we agreed on many issues. Kirsten is a leader because she stands alone on some issues if it’s what she believes. She doesn’t wait for someone else to then agree. I think she is in office because of popularity among women.

**__Charles Schumer__** I lack comprehension as to why Mr. Charles Schumer is still in office. His main focus is upstate New York. This was made noticeable by the accomplishments listed on his website. Everything he did benefited the rural part of the state. Few of his accomplishments were for New York City. I don’t believe he is representing his district accurately. His 2009 ratings were very low making matters worse. Charles Schumer wouldn’t get my vote for the simple fact that he doesn’t do anything for the city although we agree on many issues. It’s nice that he cares about rural New York but the New York City does account for a lot of the population of the state. His display of leadership qualities are rare he is better known for sponsoring bills. Only once on his website was authored a bill visible.

**__ Edolphus __**__** Towns **__ Edolphus Towns serves East New York, Canarsie, Brownsville, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Cypress Hills, Clinton Hill, Mill Basin, Midwood, downtown Brooklyn, Boreum Hill, as well as parts of Fort Greene and Williamsburg. I believe he is representative of my district. I discovered that my medical center gave him over seventeen thousand dollars towards his campaign. On a quiz I took on vote smart, we were eighty eight percent alike the quiz consisted of twelve questions relating to present day issues. It confirmed he is representative of me. He is also one of the few representatives with their accomplishments and achievements on their website there was no searching various websites. In the next election I would gladly vote for him because unlike other candidates he isn’t just talk. He strongly displays the leadership quality leading versus managing which is why he has been in office for so long in my opinion.

__**Velmanette Montgomery** __

I don’t believe Velmanette Montgomery is a representative of me and my district. Her website doesn’t help show me she is either. Her website doesn’t give enough information about who she is, what she has done or her cause. I wouldn’t give her my vote for the simple fact that I don’t know much about her besides the fact that she is pro- Choice. I honestly don’t know what is keeping her in office because I haven’t seen anything done by her. If she did do something it would have been on her website.

__**Annette Robinson** __

Annette Robinson doesn’t represent my district or me. Her website fails to tell me what she is doing for the district. All her page has is a bunch of working hard and fighting for. It doesn’t say what her hard work has achieved. I wouldn’t vote for because I know nothing of what she does. I don’t know why she is in office nor how she has been able to stay there. I do know it isn’t because of all the financing her campaign receives. She barely has any accomplishments.

**Albert Vann**

Unlike my other representatives Albert Vann’s interest group rates couldn’t be located nor his campaign financing. Regardless of the fact, his biography told me enough about him and his various accomplishments. Albert Vann represents my community as well as me. In my Opinion he has done more than Velmanette Montgomery and Annette Robinson. I would gladly vote for him because he does actually work hard and his accomplishments confirm it. I believe he is still in office because he actually achieves what he works tirelessly for which is to have people in his community opinion count.
