1. Love Kirsten Gillibrand!

She used to be my congresswoman here in NY-20! Though this is a traditionally Republican area, she was very popular - and managed to unseat a long time Republican congressman who was so entrenched in that seat that often the Democrats didn't even bother to field a candidate. I went to her initial campaign event in 2006 - and saw and heard President Clinton who came to this burg to campaign for her! He really charmed the crowd, no big surprise...

She really is excellent - and we're very proud of the job she's doing as senator. But unfortunately, after one term, we're back to Republican representation, and the current rep is even worse than the one she replaced.
