Is Kirsten Gillibrand the real deal politically...?

When she talks she seems earnest and straightforward. She seems like a real asset to our nation.

Can people share their opinions of her?

Hillary is pretty good also. Gillibrand is passionate but her voice is so young.

I have been impressed.
She is progressive on lots of issues. She also does a lot of outreach to her constituents. Not sure some others care that much in 'safe' districts.
