Based on my considerable experience in this area, here’s how – generally speaking – a candidate will prioritize the interests of stakeholders – all in the name of winning elections and diminishing the effort they need to undertake to win.

1) Ability to organize and deliver large numbers of constituents
2) Ability to organize large numbers of campaign volunteers
3) Ability to raise money from large numbers of donors
4) constituent who donated money and worked on campaign
5) constituent who donated money
6) constituent who worked on campaign
7) non constituent who worked on campaign
8) non constituent who donated money
9) constituent who is known to member and is a member of same party
10) constituent who is member of same party
11) constituent who actually votes (and voted for member)
12) constituent who actually votes
13) constituent

As you can see, a little effort and organization on our side can have a huge impact on Gillibrand.
