The Issues They Feel are Important

In the first and twenty-first district, where the races are close, the race is going to boil down to the issues that the candidates are supporting. Now as a voter, we should be able to go to their website and see the issues they support. This is the accumulation of those two races and their candidates. 

On the incumbent's website in the first district, Tim Bishop, his issues start with the "Environment, Fighting for Seniors, Fighting for Working Families, Job and the Economy, Supporting our Veterans, Working for Long Island." 

Now his competitor, Lee Zeldin, has a little bit more to say on his issues page. "Fighting for Our Families, Shrinking Government, Working to Grow the Good Jobs We Need, Sharing Every Parent's Hope: A Better Future for Our Children, Preparing Our Children for that Future, Preserving the Opportunity: Giving Our Kids a Chance, Keeping Our Promises to Seniors, Repealing and Replacing Obamacare, Fighting for What's Right: Protecting Our Constitution, Fighting for You: Protecting our Citizens, A Veteran Standing Up for Veterans, A Flawed Immigration System, Preserving Our Environment, An Untapped Opportunity: Energy." 

Now for the 21st district there are different issues they are going for. For Elise Stefanik it begins with the "Economy" then moves to "Regulatory & Tax Reform, Healthcare, Fiscal Responsibility, Agriculture, Veterans & Military Families, Constitution, Immigration, Energy, Environment, Education." 

Her Democratic counterpart, Aaron Woolf, almost has the same issues as his competitor. "Economy and Jobs, Education, Seniors, Foreign Policy and Ft. Drum, Healthcare, Environment and Sportman's Rights, Agriculture, Equal Opportunity, Government Reform, Veterans." 

Remember the links will bring you to their page where you can find out more information and why the candidate is right for you! 

Recently, Woolf released his tax rate. It may be more shocking than you think! "Woolf supports the Buffett Rule, named for billionaire Warren Buffett, which would impose a 30 percent federal tax rate on anyone who makes more than $1 million a year." Well Woolf's "effective tax rate was 29.53 percent in the tax returns he filed with his wife last year." Surprisingly backing up what he is supporting.
