  1. I do want my name stated on air.

    Does Mr. Stec believe Joe Biden’s election as President was legitimate? What does he think of Elise Stefnick’s unquestioning support of Donald Trump?

    Do he and Billy Jones have a good relationship? Exactly what issues have they cooperated closely on?

    Doesn’t it make more sense for the North Country to be represented by a person who is a member of the majority party in the State Senate? How much influence can he have as a minority? He didn’t have much influence on the Farmer OT wage issue.

  3. New Yorkers in the 45th District are still getting COVID & more than just a few are dying from it. (Exact numbers are hard to come by) Dan Stec campaigns alongside Congresswoman Stefanik who has opposed sending ventilators to “downstate” hospitals & nursing homes during height of COVID, while thousands were dying daily, she has opposed mask wearing & has refused to encourage her constituents to get vaccinated. What is Mr. Stec’s position on COVID vaccines, mask wearing and other precautions to avoid COVID from erupting over the winter months this coming year. Also, is he vaccinated against COVID & has he gotten his booster shots.

  4. I’m interested to know the candidates’ position on the legitimacy of the 2022 presidential election, if the attack on the capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 was an insurrection, and what our State government needs to do to protect the counting of our vote and our electors.

  5. It’s okay to use my name. I’d like to know where each candidate stands on the Medical Assistance in Dying proposed legislation.
