Congressional Battleground – Chris Gibson (NY20)

In the past decade, many Congressional districts have shifted from one party to the other. But few have shifted as dramatically as the NY-20th.

In the early 2002, Republican John Sweeney won the seat with 73 percent of the vote. In 2008, Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand collected 61 percent support on her way to re-election.

This year, the race could shift once again. Wednesday we spoke to the Incumbent, Scott Murphy, who is running with an anti-Washington message. In Thursday’s edition of our Congressional Battleground series, Liz Benjamin sat down his Republican rival, Army Veteran Chris Gibson.
