A Race Over Trade

This Congressional race isn’t in the top-tier of competitive races–it doesn’t even rank in the top 50 races to watch at The Hotline–but it will be interesting to see what happens in the 26th CD in New York. Democrat Jack Davis is running against Republican incumbent Tom Reynolds, who also happens to be the national party’s Congressional campaign chair. The main issue is trade.

Davis has been well-known in the area for his vehement opposition to NAFTA. On the other hand, Reynolds is a down-the-line supporter of so-called “free trade.” The district covers the area stretching from the east side of Buffalo, across Erie and Genesee Counties to the west side of Rochester. Unfortunately, Davis has coupled his anti-so-called “free trade” stance with a fairly hard-nosed position on immigration.

Here’s a short local television station report on the race.
