22nd Congressional campaign

Campaign strategies during COVID

At today's chicken barbeque greeting people was22nt candidate...and former congresswoman...cl audia tenney.

News channel two's gary liberatore has a look at the campaigning strategy of each of the 22nd congressional district candidates...as we continue to deal with covid....and how this year differs from years' past.... candidates going door to door the last month before an election is something that's a common site...but depending on which candidate you'r talking about n the 22nd congressional district race...you may or may not have someone knocking at your door... .

None .

None tc : 51:57 "we have to do what we feel is comfortable, i dont think will be going door to door during the middle of a pandemic but certainly doing literature drops i think theyre ok to avoid more of the face-to-face contact."

Tc : 03:31 "i am going to order door and so is our team, we are very careful, we have masks, we have hand sanitizer, we stay obviously social distancing away from arkansas childrens shelter cause it is really challenging and its environment."

Tc : 02:51 "i do a lot more of this, a lot more zoom, a lot more online, i do a lot of conference calls, a lot of socially distance events."

Those are the three candidates in this year's democrat incumbent anthony brindisi republican former congresswoman claudia tenney and newcomber...liberat arian party candidate...keith price of apalachin...outside of binghamton.

Tc : 03:09 "changed how we have raised money, its changed how weve talk to the media but the bottom line is if you have the drive and desire to get out there youll find a way to do it, intelligently and safely and to do it with social distancing in mind."

Each candidate says they will attend events as they come up...as did claudia tenney on sunday handing out chicken barbeques at the herkimer county republican committee fundraiser.

Tc : 07:46 "i think there are undecideds out there and were going to work every day to get them."

Tc : 52:12 "theres a lot of events that were still doing."

T c: 52:35 "and then continuing to meet with businesses and individuals across the district."

Tc: 51:37 "weve been focusing more on phone banking, doing stuff digitally."

Tc : 57:00 "this weekend we will surpass 200,000 calls that we have made for our campaign."

So if you don't see the candidates at an event...or at your door...you sure might be hearing from them on the phone.
