Showing Original Post only (View all)Do you live in a state with a competitive senate or governors race? Do you live in a swing district? [View all]
Do you have a competitive state legislative race in your district or a competitive state or county race?
If you do can you give us an idea what you think the race or races look like?
For me I live in the NY 11th congressional district. Michael Grimm is my congressman and has a real race this year. He won the last election with 51% of the vote against a flawed democrat. The District is 2/3 Staten Island and 1/3 southern Brooklyn. I live on the Brooklyn end.
Domenic Recchia a NYC councilman from Brooklyn is running for the seat on the democratic and Working Families line. Due to Grimm's recent troubles with an indicted fundraiser/ex-girlfriend and threatening a reporter, the democrat should be able to give him a good race.
