Television watchers and internet users locally may be familiar with Catskill resident Andrea Mitchell, who has been featured in ads from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee against Rep. John Faso. Just after Faso took office in January 2017, protesters at his Kinderhook office marched down to his nearby home. Faso came out to talk with them, and Mitchell, who has several health issues, asked him not to vote to eliminate allowing pre-existing conditions in the nation's healthcare plan. "I promise, I promise," Faso said, although later he would vote for the Republican American Health Care Act that would have reduced coverage, though it failed by one vote in the Senate. Now Mitchell says Faso is attacking her personally. "Last week #CongressmanJohnFaso in #NY19 posted a header on his website that was my name, personally. Not an attack on another candidate, or a policy, but a direct attack on a private citizen and constituent," Mitchell wrote on Twitter. She posted a YouTube video as a response.
