Mr. Torossian, if you want to be a success in extending your business to politics, you can't have such thin skin.
That said, I find it hard to believe that you took a long look at Yvette Clarke's campaign and the best angle you could come up with was "she's a woman" just like shirley chisolm and eleanor roosevelt. The voters of the 11th CD in this day and age are going to vote for the best candidate, not the best black candidate or the best or only female candidate, but the best candidate.
Voters want substance, they want relevant debate on the issues and to vote for whoever best represents them. If you encourage a voter to vote for a candidate based on the candidate being a woman, or being one ethnicity or another, that insults the voters.
If you want Yvette to win, drop this emphasis on her deserving election based on her being the only woman in the race, which is shallow and insulting. Focus on the real issues facing this district, if a slick madison avenue consulting firm can actually relate to or understand central brooklyn.
Don't waste advertising dollars telling us she's a woman. We already know that. Tell us what she'd do, and how she'd do it. If you thoroughly researched her campaign and came to the conclusion that the only thing that sets her apart from the other candidates is she's female (and that seems to be your conclusion), that does not speak well for her candidacy.
