Today's Poll: Who do you currently support for the local congressional seat?

By Howard B. Owens

Dave Meyer

We can only hope that this poll doesn't reflect the sentiments of all of the voters of the 27th district.
How could anyone in their right mind think that someone who lives on the western fringe of the (primarily rural) district and who has essentially no connection with the district (except that the legislature gerrymandered it to be primarily republican) would represent the district better than someone who lives in the geographic center of the district and actually has a lifelong connection to the locale?
Diana, I can pledge to you now that you have my vote. I'm sure you know that you're fighting an uphill battle given the district structure but Kathy Hochul did it in the past and did an excellent job by all accounts, so it is possible.
I look forward to you getting your message out and for you to engage Mr. Collins in debating the issues.
I wish you all the best.
