Tenney"},"content":{"rendered":"

Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi<\/a> announced his intention<\/a> to run against Congresswoman Claudia Tenney<\/a> next year in CD-22<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is going to be one of the more interesting races in 2018.\u00a0 The district has traditionally been held by moderate to RINO Republicans while Tenney is much more conservative.\u00a0 Brindisi is a moderate Democrat who might fit the district demographics better than Tenney.<\/p>\n

On guns<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… Brindisi has also shown an independent streak as a Democratic moderate, at times criticizing Gov. Andrew Cuomo<\/a>. But some of his credentials will likely appeal to conservatives, including his top “A” rating from the National Rifle Association<\/a> …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brindisi has been supportive of gun rights while in the Assembly<\/a> and deserves the grade.<\/p>\n

Tenney, however, has been vocal in her 2A support and for Remington<\/a>.\u00a0 From a pure gun rights standpoint, she is the stronger candidate.<\/p>\n
