Tenney’s confrontational style stands in stark contrast to her Democratic challenger, New York state Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi. He has preferred to keep a low profile, focusing instead on his district, which covers the small upstate cities of Rome and Utica. “Folks back home don’t want our community to make national news because of the controversial things that our representative says,” Brindisi told HuffPost on Thursday. In the first quarter of 2018, Brindisi hauled in over $450,000 in contributions compared to just $258,000 for Tenney. He’s liked by his colleagues in Albany and is well-known in northern portions of the congressional district.
