mr. schumer. mr. schumer, friday's letter -- i am sorry, opening statements come first. sen. humer: let me thank you and union college for having this debate. i fought my entire career for the middle class and those trying to get there because that's who i am. my father was an exterminator, my mother a housewife, my father-in-law a cab driver. and i remember vividly my father pacing the floor at 2:00 a.m., worried about how he was going to pay the bills. so i have worked really hard to bring jobs, good jobs, to the middle class and those aspiring to be there, whether it's alcoa, the four kraft plants, the laser in rochester. i brought many good jobs here. i am there when there is a crisis, whether 9/11 or sandy downstate or the horrible snowstorm in buffalo. i'm always there for new yorkers. if you give me the honor of re-electing me, i will work really hard for the middle class and those trying to get there, raising the minimum wage, making college affordable, a major infrastructure bill that will employ tens of thousands of people in good paying jobs. ms. benjamin: thank you
