Congress, 28th district: Louise Slaughter. Representing the Rochester area in Washington since 1986, Slaughter is an influential member of Congress who wears her liberalism proudly. Her Republican opponent, Buffalo-area dentist Jill Rowland, is almost Slaughter’s exact opposite. She opposes nearly everything Slaughter endorses: the health-care bill (on which Slaughter worked hard), cap and trade, the stimulus bill, restrictions on offshore drilling. Slaughter has been a valuable, dedicated representative for the Rochester area and deserves re-election.
