road here on burnet avenue, and i saw the struggle firsthand to run a small business, to raise a family, to get to the middle class, and to stay in the middle class. that is why i have dedicated myself and focused to creating jobs, making sure that small businesses can succeed, and to bettering the middle class, because if the middle-class succeeds, then central new york will succeed. i believe that we do have challenges, but we can face those challenges together, and that central new york is the best place to live and work and raise a family, and as congressman, my job is to keep it that way. congressman, thank you. mr. katko. good evening, and thank you, seth, liz, and bill, for having me here, and the thank you, time warner. this is my first go round in a debate and i m very honored to be here. i am excited to take part in this great democratic process . i, too, am from syracuse, new york. i was born and raised here. i am one of seven children. my mother and father liv
