Hi, non-American here with a question. Looking up your district online a random website says that your district's registered voters are 76% Democrat and 33% Republican. It also seems that the Republican incumbent has a controversial history at best, and that NY overall is heavy Democrat country.

With all that in mind it seems really odd that the district would vote in a Republican that wasn't moderate. If the district went red at all I would expect it to be to a more moderate candidate. How do you think that happened? Did Martin Golden have some sort of resonance with the community? Is he very charismatic?

Please clarify what you mean by afraid... and didn't you run against him in 2012?

So would you say his edge is simply name recognition then?
