Tricky question. Politicians don't create jobs per se, but their job should be focused on making it easier for businesses to grow and employ more people. I'm pretty sure Chris Collins gets the nod from me for facilitating job creation.
I suppose it depends on your personal viewpoint, Mark as to which one would likely vote for a better business climate. Collins has a good record with running companies. Many will find Hochul's efforts to understand what local small businesses need to succeed in industries which she doesn't have experience with, such as agriculture. She really has impressed. I think she is a better representative for the district as a whole which helps improve the general attitude of the area, which an argument can be made that that would indirectly help the local economy and create jobs. I'm not trying to make that argument, though. Personally, I'm in the politicians don't create jobs camp.
Dave I agree with you on all counts actually, my comment about Collins was relative to his political philosophy more than anything.
Kathy Hochul on the other hand has been impressive as to her willingness to get out there and listen.
But with regard to the Jobs issue, Collins philosophy is to get Government out of the way of business. I kind of ignore both when they say they can create jobs.
Truthfully I am very torn this election cycle. But one thing I know we both agree on, politians do not create jobs. I wish there were a few more choices as far as candidates go on this one. My biggest reservation about Hochul is the 'D' after her name. I just don't want anything to empower Democrats at this point, their philosophy I definately disagree with, but I am leaning Hochul based solely on her apparent willingness to hear all sides.
"I wish there were a few more choices as far as candidates go on this one."
Always and every time.
I'm with you as well on leaning towards Hochul. I think she is pretty independent of the party, she has proven that so far at least.
My biggest issue in this election has nothing to do with politics or the economy. I really do not want to ever vote anyone into a position where they can have a hand in sending our military to war or in harm's way of any kind without having served in the military. That would be Senator, Congressperson, President, Vice President. We have somewhere around 20% of our national representatives with military background. That's a big problem for me. Sorry, I digress.

Even if you disagree with
Even if you disagree with Collins on political issues, he has owned and operated his own business, so the edge should go to him.
I pretty much agree with
I pretty much agree with Collins on most (Not All) political issues, so he would definately get the nod this issue.
I do have Charactor issues with him though, so vote wise it is difficult.
But you can't deny that strictly on the Jobs issue, Collins would be more likely to vote for a better business environment.
