Mike Derrick who ran in 2016 was career military so it may have been unfair to label him thusly. Aaron Woolf is a filmmaker and spent time in and out of the district. He ran against Elise in 2014 when she was first elected. She left the district at 18 for college, then worked in the Dubya WH and didn't look back until she wanted to be in Congress. That may be a little unfair. Oh well. She's in her early 30's with a long and sordid career ahead of her. <br /><br />So, I kinda look at Ratigan similarly and I see a celebrity president and don't want a celebrity rep. And it may be odd but I'm inclined toward voting for a woman who's not Elise Stefanik. Tedra Cobb is my choice. She's held a legislative office upstate which she was an underdog winning. Emily Martz had been my candidate, but I switched at the forum in South Glens Falls. I'd be real happy with either of them. Patrick Nelson is a great candidate as is Katie Wilson. <br /><br />One candidate dropped out to run for state assembly, Don Boyajian. I was really glad to see that. We had all these good people running for US rep and no one for the state seat. <br /><br />It's really a wealth of riches this year. In 2014, we had a Dem rep Owens and he dropped late in the process. Maybe March or so. It was a scramble to get Woolf. In 2016, Derrick was the only one to throw his hat or helmet in. There are some impressive people running. <br /><br />Ratigan wasn't running at the time I saw the SGF debate. Maybe I'd feel more warmly toward him. That's another issue that he got in late.

What do you think of him?Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.com
