(224,278 posts)I worked on the last one in 2009 when Senator Hillary Clinton was appointed Secretary of State by President Obama and Governor Paterson appointed Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand to take her place as senator. I really liked our Democratic nominee, smart and proactive, and it was very cool that he lived only a couple of miles from me so we saw him at campaign headquarters all the time. He won the Special Election, but lost the next one - I worked on that campaign, too.
But times have changed, that was when we were NY-20, aligned with areas south of here. As of 2013 we became part of NY-21 - inherited a moderate Democratic Rep., but when he retired in 2015, that's when we got stuck with Stefanik. Initially there were protests, but she's continued to win and I sure hope that we can elect another Democrat this time.
