What are the similarities and differences between the NY Governor election and this election? (Ayesha)

# data[].attributes.body
The differences between these two Governor elections are the strategies both states parties are using to gain the vote of their party. In NY both Governors are using the media and advertisements to gain their states vote while in the other hand Crist is using "relation organization", where he's paying people to talk to their friends, family and neighbors about his campaign. The reaoning behind this strategy is so there'd be no need to send out volunteers and campaign staffers to have conversations with strangers, but instead of relational organizing which pays organizers or volunteers to have more natural, free-flowing political discussions with their acquaintances. Crist's campaign in coordination with the Florida Democratic Party is  working with Relentless, a firm formed by a group of former Ossoff campaign staffers.

If Christ wins the FL Governor he'd help the Democratic party overall with abortion rights, his campaign is also focusing on  restoring civility, ending divisive politics, and working across the political aisle which would help the Democratic party overall.

If my group could endorse a candidate, we would endorse Charlie Christ because he is doing more things to solve issues in Florida. The main issue is gun violence and Christ is enforcing gun rights by creating strict gun law, stronger background texts, and reporting lost or stolen guns. On the other hand, Ron DeSantis doesn't mention much about gun control in his debate. In the issue of climate change, we don't really agree with DeSantis because we feel like reducing the about of greenhouse gas emission along with adapting to a changing climate is the best solution. If Christ get's elected as governor,  defend productive freedom, clean water, and stricter gun laws.

Based on the polls DeSantis is most likely to win because of his audience being mostly Republican and Florida upholding a reputation of trending with Rebulicans in the last few years with the  former President Trump election.  According to a poll released by the University of North Florida’s Public Opinion Research Lab, DeSantis is ahead of Crist by 14% points. Less than 1% of those surveyed said they would vote for someone else, and 4% were undecided or refused to answer.

Ron DeSantis is fighting for Florida Governor. Has served in this position since 2019 and is currently running for reelection. Primary responsibilities of the governor include: the enforcement of state laws, requesting interpretations from the Florida Supreme Court on constitutional subjects, approving or vetoing bills passed by the state legislature, drafting a balanced budget to submit to the legislature, granting pardons (with the exception of impeachment), and convening legislature. The governor also has the ability to veto bills. DeSantis will use this position to give more funding to communities that have been impacted the most from the hurricane. He will also continue to fight for access to education and what type of education is taught in school. He will ban schools from teaching the critical race theory because he doesn't believe that schools should teach kids to hate our country or to hate each other. He wants to protect workers against the hostile work environment that is created when large corporations force their employees to endure CRT-inspired training and indoctrination. Furthermore, he will fight for the W.O.K.E Act which attempts to erase sensitive discussions and erase the history and life experiences of black people, LGBTQ folks, women, and other people of color who have struggled to achieve racial justice.
