-insutries include: manufacturing, healthcare, education, agriculture, forestry, fishing, and retail
-large public company (not many here): Alvogen (mega pharmaceutical company)
-other private business: The Raymond Corporation (forklift trucks), Chobani (dairy manufacturing), Marietta Corporation (hotel goods manufacturing), and LoJo Technology (manufacturing)
-most likely, with new technology, there has been a decrease in the profit gained by companies in the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industries; however, new technology and a vast number of new products as well as a higher need for locally made products due to tariffs, the manufacturing and retail industries must have increased  demand; finally, the demand for education has gone up in recent years as a college education has almost become a necessity
-if there are price floors on raw goods such as agricultural goods and products of hunting and fishing; if there are price ceilings on raw goods needed to manufacture goods (such as machines for capital investment), this would help the manufacturing businesses keep their costs low
-NY has the 2nd highest real GDP per capita ($65,220); this compares to be better than the US ($53,337)

-we must secure our nation's border immediately
-she will view for veterans and their benefits
-military must be given the resources to defend our country and be ready for any threat
-very against abortion
-very in favor of social security and Medicare

# data[].attributes.body
Tenney is more leaning towards the ideological side of her party as she maintains almost all Republican beliefs such as less-government intervention and a reduction of taxes. Also, other than her support of Medicare and social security, she does not share too many views on liberal issues such as civil rights and activism.

# data[].attributes.body
Tenney is very much capitalist as she supports small-business and very little government intervention in order to limit barricades in the business world in the US.

# data[].attributes.body
Claudia believes that the second amendment is more than a right, it must be reinforced. Tenney does not support the governor's gun-grabbing SAFE act. She does not agree with measures taken against law-abiding citizens of New York.

# data[].attributes.body
-free market principles
-protect and grow jobs
-largely against tax increases
-wants to reduce government spending
-small businesses are important (small business owner herself)
-believes we must reject the Tran-Pacific Partnership trade deal in order to preserve jobs and the sovereignty of America

# data[].attributes.body
Brindisi leans more towards capitalism on this spectrum as he supports less government intervention in the economy and hopes to support small businesses without creating barriers for them.

# data[].attributes.body
Brindisi could be considered moderate. While he shares most principles of the Democratic Party including his support for women's rights, environmental preservation, veterans, and social security as well as health care, he shows that he is moderate through his support for the 2nd amendment as well as his view on reduction of taxes and less government intervention in the economy.

# data[].attributes.body
-believes more effort needs to be given to preserve the environment
-believes that the Government should do more to help veterans and to ensure defense
-need to give law enforcements and others more resources to help fight against the opioid crisis
-must enforce more campaign financing laws that make it easier for someone to run for their community without support from corporations financially

# data[].attributes.body
Anthony Brindisi supports the Second amendment, but believes that it is important to prevent the guns from getting into the hands of dangerous criminals and those who are mentally unstable. By talking this stance for the 2nd amendment, he appeals to some leftward leaning Republicans as well as most of those in his own party. He plans on accomplishing this by improving the background check process and investing more in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to make sure that guns do not fall into the wrong hands.

# data[].attributes.body
Brindisi appeals to the District's residents as he has a history of ignoring party lines and reaching across the isle to get things done the right way. This appeals to both people in his party, and leftward leaning Republicans.

# data[].attributes.body
-wants to build a diverse economy that strengthens the middle class by focusing on manufacturing and technology, small business creation, agriculture, education, and career training
-Government should reduce regulatory burden (interesting as this is a more capitalistic view)
-partner with businesses to create solutions, not act as a barrier
-policies are needed to protect consumers by lowering the cost of living (i.e. lower prescription drug costs)
-low taxes that support a rewarding economy
-every American needs to have access to high-speed internet

Anthony Brindisi- Health Care and Education

# data[].attributes.body
-strong advocate for keeping the education system public, preventing it from being controlled by corporations
-wants to lower student loan debts for graduates
-everyone should have access to good health care
-opposed bills like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as it gave a disadvantage to people with pre-existing conditions

# data[].attributes.body
-I believe that Brindisi will win by 7% percent at most as this is a VERY close race as far as support form the voters and endorsements
-1.) Brindisi has somewhat right leaning views on low amounts of intervention in the economy as well as with the 2nd amendment; therefore, he appeals to those in his own party and some left leaning Republicans. This could be the small amount of voters that could be the difference and lead to his victory.
-2.) Tenney is very much so a Republican and has virtually no appeal to independents or right-leaning democrats as she is largely a idealized Republican who would most likely vote party lines.
-Opposing View: This district has had a Republican Representative since the 2012 election, so it is not likely that it will change soon.
