Guns were a topic in a debate between Adam Haber and Elaine Phillips for the open SD-7 seat:
“… Phillips, the Flower Hill Village mayor, said she “absolutely” supported “common sense gun legislation.” She said that she grew up in western Pennsylvania, where hunting was popular in her community, and was well-educated on gun safety. “What we need to do in New York State is make sure we give the resources to those individuals, our law enforcement, so we don’t have illegal guns brought into New York State,” Phillips said. “So criminals on the street can be apprehended, so we can clean up our streets, we can enforce, but it is law enforcement that needs the resources.” Haber, a former commodities trader and Roslyn school board trustee, said the two may have differing ideas of what “common sense” means. He said he understands that citizens have rights to own or carry a firearm, but he believes “gun control is an important part of keeping our community safe.” …”
Translation: Both candidates stink.
Right now, I’d give Haber the edge in winning the seat, giving a +1 to the mainline Democrat caucus.
I live in this district. The Repubs seem to be throwing tons of money at Phillips cause I see an ad a minute for her. Absolutely not one ad for Haber have I seen on any network. I believe that the NY dem/repub mob of crooks have pre ordained Phillips to win. That’s the good news. The bad news is that she will be an identical replacement for Jack Martins. Unfortunately, no real American candidate can win here anymore. The shit people are the majority here now.
The money is part of the sleezy Flanagan/Cuomo/union deal to keep the GOP in power. They’re doing it all over the state. I think they’ll come up a bit short on LI.
