mr. woolf>> thank you very much. it is an honor to be here. my name is aaron woolf. when our house burned down, we rebuilt it, and with help from friends and neighbors. rebuilding that home was an investment. over the years i have helped build trails, i have served on community and conservation boards, i have sold and distributed products from local farmers. last year i worked with republicans and democrats to save small businesses. my daughters best friend is here. on monday i picked her up and dropped her off at school. i'm running for congress because i want her to be able to have a future here as well. to do that, we will have to fight for top quality education, our veterans. we will have to make sure our local businesses have the tools they need to succeed. we have to make sure the people who work for a living not only can survive, but thrive. inre's a lot of dysfunction washington. i know to make things better there, we will need independence, shared responsibility, and hard work, the ver

mr. woolf, you go first. f: i take umbrage my opponent's contentions out of washington and everything that obama and pelosi say. i think that i stand by my film work which always brought all sides to the table. i dealt on issues about liberals and conservatives to the table. i've always done that. i've done that, saving the movie theater project -- >> moderator: is this a question? woolf: the question is, you know, you keep running away from your record as director of this platform. as a film director i take full responsibility for all the things in my films. you were a director, you put your namon a document that sought to the constitutional ban on a woman's right to choose even in the case of rape, incest, and life of the mother. you put your name on that. you need to take responsibility for the. even if it was only two years ago. you a run for office the and it seems like you are saying whatever you want and what if you think the voters want to hear. my question is, were you being disingenuous then all you

it needs to be immediately addressed on a bipartisan basis. >> moderator: we would like to give mr. woolfnce to respond. woolf: i certainly take umbrage at your vision that i want to raise taxes on family farmers. nothing on my record could possibly support that. stefanik: is a tax hike and it raises taxes on industries not only on farmers that manufactures like miller mechanical in glen falls. >> moderator: let's mr. woolf rebut. woolf: it is one of the ways that i have proposed raising revenue. i'm the only candidate on this podium and stage that is talked about ways to raise revenue. we need better roads and bridges. we need rural broadband and nobody, everybody on the stage is talked about that but nobody dares to say how we can possibly raise the money. i think the rule which the roses millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share don't pay a lower tax rate than the people that work for them to me seems absolutely fair and necessary. >> moderator: now we are at the point where you'll have the opportunity to ask one another questions. it looks like you have a lot of questions for

the first question goes to you mr. woolf. the u.s. again is involved in military action in the middle east in the form of airstrikes against the group known as isis. president obama says no boots on the ground as you know, and instead he wants to arm cerium rebels so they can battle the militants. would you have voted in favor of that proposal and often what do you think of the country's long-term strategy in the region? woolf: you know i don't like to engage in hypothetical questions of what i or what i not have that this is a voluntary changing situation and i would say i am not for the information of president obama or even congressman owings has about this. i'm very skeptical about the boots on the ground and i think airstrikes may be an important steps and he helped to weaken isis but we've should think about our allies on the ground. they have standing armies of hundreds of thousands of men and women i suppose and they should absolutely be in the first line. we should work in concert with other nations in the region but i would
