Declared and Considering Donald Boyajian - Malta Patrick Nelson - Stillwater Emily Martz - Saranac Lake Tedra Cobb - St. Lawrence County Martha Devaney - Wilton Not yet certain how GINY should articulate with WC Dems and other groups in the district. Still worth refining our questions.

Questions: Why did voters who voted twice for Obama vote for Trump? What can be done to increase markets and demand for Ag products in 21? How do you reconcile that certain elements of US trade deals are unpopular with Democrats yet have often been beneficial to the ag sector? Why is the Democratic party in the minority in the House, Senate and most state governments? Describe two experiences you’ve had with poverty in 21. What did you learn and how will that drive your policy positions? Describe changes to tax policy you will work for to address rising inequality. Describe your position on the role of the US in maintaining stability and protecting human rights in troubled regions around the world.
