Here's a quick rundown of each Brewer:
Rick Lazio majored in Political Science at Vassar, before attending law school at American University in Washington, D.C.. Mr. Lazio has forged an incredibly successful career in both the public and private sectors. He served as Executive Vice President of J.P. Morgan (one of the world's largest financial institutions) and then served four terms in Congress from 1993-2001 representing New York's 2nd District. A Republican, his platform focuses on reducing government waste, controlling the State budget, and increasing Albany's efficiency. Albany has been notoriously gridlocked for the past two years, a trend Mr. Lazio hopes to reverse. During his time at Vassar, he was a reporter for The Miscellany News and Vice President of the student government.
Eric Dinallo majored in Philosophy at Vassar, and then earned his M.A. in public policy from Duke University and his J.D. from New York University School of Law. A Democratic candidate, his campaign focuses on fighting corruption, particularly in the financial sector, on the heals of the recession and several Ponzi schemes. Coincidentally, Cardozo Law just hosted a debate of all the Democratic Attorney General candidates, where I got to see Mr. Dinallo in person. He was easily the most eloquent candidate, and presented a real vision for the justice system in New York. Mr. Dinallo faces a primary against several other Democrats, in advance of the November elections.Good luck to both men this election season! Brewers play to win.

My son, a high school junior from Oregon, is interested in politics and government. I see you majored in political science and it looks like Vassar does have many government-minded alumns. How would you compare Vassar's government program/training with those at other schools? I know my son has mentioned Georgetown quite a bit. Any thoughts on how the Vassar experience would compare to the experience at a larger university in that regard? I'll send you an email too. Thank you!
