We got 4 new dem voters in this house, brand new, since the last election. Also we assist her campaign and she's running neck to neck with the weasel.

Collins is a stupid crook. He cares nothing about the people of western NY nor the district. He is never here, refuses to debate and is under indictment.. LOL..total ass hole.

I am not 100% sure about DNCC and Cuomo.

Cuomo isn't my favorite dem on the planet. But he is OUR dem. :&gt ) He was trying to manipulate Kathy Hochul somehow and Nate would have nothing of it. Plus Kathy I think didn;t like it either. NY DEMS wanted someone else to run in 27th who they could control. Nate is not beholden to corporations or self-interested pols. His campaign is totally 100% grass roots financed. They can barely pay for lawn signs. (Now they/we are doing better.) But, but, He has been out on the road every single day since January. Just unbelievable.

He also said he does not support Nancy P..That didn't help... And he says he supports the 2nd A. whatever that actually means. Also insists on serious background checks, no 'bump stocks,' etc etc.. This IS a very red gerrymandered district-- stupid..

Anyway, I like the guy. His wife is South Korean (That;s his biggest plus in my book as I know quite a few South Koreans-- some of the world's greatest classical musicians and GREAT FOOD!! HA HA !) He lived in Seoul for some time and speaks Korean, Chinese and maybe French, not sure about the last.


Oh, one of those Korean is Chung Myun-Whun, one of the world's great conductors.. He speaks Korean, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese-- what did I live out. One of his sisters, Kyung-wha Chung, is one of the greatest living violinists and the other sister, Chung Myung Wha is a world class cellist. Quite the family, eh. ? :&gt ))

Sorry, I digressed.. Anyway Nate speaks 3 languages and Collins ran a disgusting ad trying to say he was basically a North Korean agent.. Filthy..

Oh, someone on his team had their tires slashed the other day !! Yeah....


Thank you again for your generosity....

So, Nate has some 'contrary' ideology as re: Nancy and the 2nd Amendment?

But he is the one on tap against collins?

Why should there be any question as to who should get voted in.

Good God, I'm not that politically astute, but Dems vote all straight Democratic!

Fine tune any crapola LATER!

She will get defeated because she is in an extremely red state. I think for doing the right thing may actually push that race closer than it now is. Doubt she can make up 10-12 points, especially in such a sparsely population state, but she was D.O.A. before the vote, the vote on SchlitzKavanaugh won't hurt her in the least because the people who are upset at that vote were never going to vote for her anyway.

She explained that she's a breast cancer survivor, so was determined to "do the next right thing" for whatever time she had - which has fortunately been 18 years.

She's in a tough race with Hawley in a state tRumpsky carried handily, and she's up against a boatload of Koch money. She's winning the $$ war so far, but it will be a bloody-knuckles fight to the last vote against these dirty pukes. They are fighting dirty, and the odds aren't all that great for her. And we need her to hold. I'm sending her every dime I can spare.

It is a very competitive race, but the incumbent Bruce Poliquin (R) has way more money from conservative super PACs. Golden is young, ex-marine who currently represents Maine's 2nd largest city, Lewiston, in the the Maine House. Bruce Poliquin sucks. He is know for purposely avoiding Mainers when they come to him with questions. He even ducked into the women's bathroom once to avoid questions. LOL!

She's running against colossal fraud Barbara Comstock, who essentially votes right down the line with congressional repukes, yet has somehow managed to feign "moderation" successfully enough every two years to fool a sufficient number of voters to send her back to Washington.
Right now, Jen holds a lead in the polls, and that needs to hold up. But Comstock, backed by the NRCC, has unleashed a flood a flat-out lies masquerading as campaign ads, and they have worked for her previously.
It's time for Comstock to get flushed.

Now suddenly in a toss up with crook Chris Collins. Yes, THAT Collins.
With zero help from DNCC or Cuomo.

Nate has been on the road every single day since January.
There is a giant grass roots campaign going on in this strongly red gerrymandered district.

Nate will not take corporate $$$ and will not be beholden to anyone, except his constituents.
Collins is running lying, racist, xenophobic ads...
Nate needs $$$ big time to run his own ads.

He is married to a women from South Korea, lived in Seoul for a number of years helping American companies there as well as educating Korean companies about business in America. He speaks Korean, Chinese and English, is extraordinarily well-read and something of an historian.

Brilliant young guy...
