Samara Barend Article in Roll Call

Hi all,

A great write-up on Samara Barend's campaign for the NY-29th appeared in today's Roll Call.

For Barend, Luck Has Been as Important as Skill

"Since Houghton announced his retirement in April, Barend, a former state party operative and community activist, has moved from the longest of long shots and become one of state and national Democrats' favorite upset possibilities. Her aggressive fundraising -- and apparent good luck -- has fueled Democratic optimism even though Republicans hold a 45 percent to 29 percent edge in voter enrollment in the Southern Tier district.

"It presents an interesting opportunity," said Greg Speed, a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee."

"Barend's appearance on the national radar screen has come suddenly. On
Tuesday, she was called out by no less an eminence than Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor and erstwhile presidential frontrunner who also made a speaking appearance at the New York breakfast."

"That's going to be a pick-up to make Nancy Pelosi the next Speaker of the House of Representatives," Dean said."
