The federal nomination process

Federal judges are nominated by the president of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. There are multiple steps to the process:

• The president nominates an individual for a judicial seat.
• The nominee fills out a questionnaire and is reviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
• The Senate Judiciary Committee holds a hearing with the nominee, questioning them about things like their judicial philosophy, past rulings or opinions, etc.

• As part of this process, the committee sends a blue slip to senators from the home state in which the judicial nomination was received, allowing them to express their approval or disapproval of the nominee.

• After the hearing, the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote to approve or return the nominee.

• If approved, the nominee is voted on by the full Senate.
• If the Committee votes to return the nominee to the president, the president has the opportunity to re-nominate the individual.

• The Senate holds a vote on the candidate.

• If the Senate confirms the nomination, the nominee receives a commission to serve a lifelong position as a federal judge.
• If the Senate does not confirm the nomination, that nominee does not become a judge.

Campaign website

Brindisi’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Working Across the Aisle to Deliver Results The 22nd District deserves a representative who has proven their ability to work across party lines and with elected officials at all levels of government. As one of the most bipartisan members of Congress, I am working with Democrats and Republicans to find commonsense solutions to real-world problems. In fact, more than 95 percent of my bills are bipartisan and every bill I introduce has a Republican co-sponsor. I am proud to be an independent voice with a track record of standing up to my own party and reaching across the aisle to get results, like when I stood up against my party and voted no on a partisan budget plan that would increase the deficit. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter which side of the aisle an idea comes from - I’ll work with anyone when it’s good for Upstate New York. It’s this approach that led to four of my bills being signed into law by President Trump. We need more of our Upstate values in Washington, and I am proud to be that voice. Delivering for Farmers and Agricultural Communities I am proud to represent a community that is more than 50% rural, with thousands of small family farms that feed our nation and put food on our shelves. Too often, however, our small farming communities are left behind by a broken Washington that puts politics over solutions. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, I am working with members of both parties to support our farmers and producers. I am proud to work with my Upstate Agriculture Advisory Committee to focus on the issues that matter to New York farmers. One of the first bills I introduced in Congress was bipartisan legislation to make it easier for farmers to hire the workers they need to keep their doors open. For too long, the broken politics of Washington have made it harder for farmers to hire workers and grow their business. I’m proud to say that in 2019, the House of Representatives passed my bill as part of a once in a generation compromise on immigration reform. This legislation gives more certainty to our farmers, and strengthens the E-Verify system to make sure that workers are here legally. When both parties come together, we can get real results for our communities. Over the last few months, we have also worked to support our dairy men and women by cracking down on the false labeling of plant-based beverages as milk. To make sure that kids have the healthy nutrients they need to grow, we are supporting bipartisan legislation to get more whole milk in schools, and push back on proposals from New York City to ban chocolate milk. We are also working to expand access to health care in rural New York. Tragically, the rate of suicide in rural parts of our country is 45% higher than in urban areas. That is unacceptable, and we need to provide more support and outreach in small towns and communities. That’s why I introduced legislation to expand mental health care outreach in farming communities. Holding Pharmaceutical Companies Accountable and Combatting Rising Prescription Drug Prices The rising cost of prescription drugs is something I have heard from folks all across Upstate New York. This is why I led the effort in Congress to crack down on big drug companies who try to stop generic drugs coming to the market, so people have access to lower-priced prescription drugs. In my first year since being elected, I took on the big pharmaceutical companies and voted to pass legislation allowing Medicare to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies in order to lower prices. This legislation helps working families and seniors, while still allowing companies to invest in research and development to find the next generation of life-saving drugs. Providing a Great Public Education A child’s zip code should never dictate the quality of education they receive. A good education is the first step in helping our kids achieve the American Dream. I am prepared to fight against any and all attempts to privatize our public education system for corporate gain. I also support robust investments in America’s public schools, including the digital infrastructure that students need to compete in the 21st Century. We must make sure our teachers have the resources they need to give our children a world-class education. We must also ensure public schools are fully funded, we invest in early childhood education programs and students are prepared for a 21st Century economy. Not every young person will go to a four-year college. We need to invest in both community colleges and Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in our middle schools and our high schools to prepare students for high-paying, high-skilled careers in advanced manufacturing and the trades. We should focus on boosting certification and apprenticeship programs that have the same value in the job market as a college degree. Leaders must also do more to lessen the student loan debt that our college graduates face. A college degree should not mean a lifetime of debt. I support legislation to allow individuals to discharge student loans in bankruptcy, as well as legislation to bring down the price of college in the first place, strengthening student aid programs such as Pell Grants to make them more flexible. Improving Health Care I believe everyone should have access to quality, affordable health care. That’s why I strongly opposed the heartless bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), raise premiums and take coverage away from more than 20 million Americans. This bill strips protections for people suffering from pre-existing conditions and reduces vital funding to protect older adults, children, women and people suffering from opioid addiction. Instead of taking health care away from hardworking families, I voted to require health insurance companies to cover people with preexisting conditions. We need to stop the special interests’ attempts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, and instead work to fix the ACA by tackling the problem of higher premiums and controlling health care costs. As I meet with people in our area, families tell me over and over that prescription drugs are too expensive. That’s why I led the effort to crack down on big drug companies who try to stop generic drugs coming to the market, so people have access to more affordable prescription drugs. I also voted to pass the historic Lower Drug Costs Now Act to allow Medicare to negotiate prices directly with pharmaceutical companies, cap out-of-pocket costs for seniors, and save $500 billion over 10 years to reinvest in strengthening Medicare and combating the opioid crisis. Growing the Economy for Businesses and Workers In order for our region to thrive, we must build a diverse economy that strengthens the middle class by focusing on manufacturing and technology, small business creation, agriculture, education and career training. That’s why I partnered with local entrepreneurs to require the Department of Defense purchase American-made flatware, which is manufactured in Upstate New York and will bring millions of dollars to the local economy. I am proud to have successfully passed the legislation after it was defeated under past representation. Government should and can reduce regulatory burdens and create an environment that encourages investment and job creation by bringing together small businesses, local colleges and technical schools, and community leaders to start conversations that develop solutions. I believe government should be a partner in building a strong economy. When costs are rising, we need to protect consumers so they have more money in their pockets. Whether it’s a cable bill, cell phone bill, utility bill or prescription drug costs, our focus must be on lowering the cost of living and raising peoples’ pay. We should start by driving down prescription drug costs and preventing mega corporate mergers that create monopolies and inflate costs. Next, we need to keep taxes low and support an economy that rewards the American worker. This means cracking down on countries that cheat and eliminating tax breaks for big businesses that ship jobs overseas, instead pushing for smart tax policies that help businesses grow and hire. Finally, we need a real infrastructure plan to fix our aging roads, bridges and water systems. We also need to make sure every American has access to high-speed internet, especially in our underserved urban and rural communities. I took my fight against Spectrum Cable to Congress and called for an investigation of Spectrum Cable for violating terms of its merger with Time-Warner cable, after Spectrum illegally raised rates on former Time-Warner customers. Protecting Social Security and Medicare Social Security and Medicare are earned benefits, a promise that older adults paid into during their lifetimes. There are some politicians in Washington who want to privatize Social Security and Medicare and let Wall Street gamble your hard earned money and take millions in fees. I will never vote to privatize Social Security or Medicare. I voted to pass the historic Lower Drug Costs Now Act to allow Medicare to negotiate prices directly with pharmaceutical companies, cap out-of-pocket costs for seniors, and save $500 billion over 10 years to reinvest in strengthening Medicare and combating the opioid crisis. While we need to reduce the deficit, we must never balance the budget on the backs of hardworking older adults that rely on Social Security and Medicare for their retirement. Preserve and Defend Our Environment Protecting our environment should not be a partisan issue. Scientists all agree that climate change is real, and we are already seeing its devastating impact. I believe elected officials must unite to protect our planet for future generations. I support investing in research to create jobs in clean energy that will help middle-class families living in the 22nd District and protect our environment. I also strongly believe we should not retreat from American global leadership on this important issue. National Security and Veterans Our servicemembers and Veterans deserve our utmost gratitude and are entitled to the benefits they earned while defending our country. We cannot say thank you enough to the brave men and women who put their lives on the line defending our country. President Trump signed my bill into law to make sure the VA has the resources it needs to help prevent Veteran suicide. I also passed legislation that provides servicemembers with a mental health assessment every 6 months and am working to expand VA mental health services for National Guard members and Reservists. I also successfully fought to protect the Bainbridge VA clinic from closure. Having a voice in Washington who fights for Upstate makes a real difference. Our region plays a key role in our country’s national security. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I will continue to protect our Department of Defense assets locally, like the Air Force Research Laboratory at Rome Labs, the Defense Finance and Accounting Services and the Eastern Air Defense Sector. This means keeping up the fight against bureaucrats who want to see these facilities closed or moved. The Opioid Epidemic America has an addiction crisis, with opioid deaths now killing more Americans than car accidents. Addiction affects families that are affluent and poor, Republican and Democrat, and young and old. It threatens our families, and we must do whatever it takes to solve this epidemic. This is why in Congress, I helped pass the first-ever fentanyl sanctions effort to force the Chinese government to honor their commitment to make all fentanyl illegal and give law enforcement more resources to go after illegal drug traffickers in China, Mexico, and other countries, stopping deadly opioids from entering our country. We must give law enforcement, medical providers, and drug prevention workers the tools and resources they need to combat this crisis, and utilize federal funding for education, additional treatment facilities and the expansion of programs that fight the epidemic. Changing Our Broken Campaign Finance Laws America should be run for the people and by the people. But as the cost of campaigns continues to skyrocket, citizens are finding it harder and harder to run for office—at all levels. In order for our legislatures to look more like our communities, we must reform our campaign finance system that currently rewards the connected and entrenched, and make it easier and fairer for all who want to serve their communities. As a fiscal conservative who opposes wasteful and out of control government spending, I led the effort to stop members of Congress from giving themselves a pay raise. And I’m not stopping there - I helped pass historic campaign finance legislation to limit foreign influence and ‘dark money’ in politics, giving control of our elections back to everyday Americans. This seat belongs to the people of the 22nd District of New York, not big corporations or special interests. Standing with Women Were it not for strong women in my life, I would not be where I am today. I’m appalled at the attacks from Washington politicians on women. Let me be clear: I am against cuts to Planned Parenthood and will continue to fight any attempts to defund the important programs they provide. I also support more protections in the workplace, like the Paycheck Fairness Act, to finally close the gender pay gap. As the father of both a daughter and a son, my children should have the same opportunities, regardless of their gender. Supporting the Second Amendment and Common Sense Reform We can reduce gun violence without infringing on the rights of law-abiding gun owners. Instead, I think we should focus on common sense laws that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals. That’s why I support expanded background checks for gun purchases and a ban on high-capacity gun magazines. We can support the Second Amendment while also preventing guns from getting into the hands of criminals and those with dangerous mental conditions. In the Assembly, I stood up to my own party and voted against the SAFE Act because it was a bad law. At the same time, I stand with more than 90% of Americans who support improving the badly broken gun background check system that currently allows dangerous individuals to get their hands on guns. We must invest more in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to ensure those who are violently mentally ill, domestic abusers and people on the 'Do Not Fly List' aren't falling through the cracks and can’t get their hands on guns from the start. I agree with the Trump Administration's plan to tackle bump stocks and make sure action follows words. I have never and will never accept a dime of campaign contributions from the NRA. Special interests will never control me. Coronavirus Your safety and well-being are my number one priority. Our team will continue to provide updates as we learn more about the situation to ensure you have the most up-to-date information as we learn how to combat the coronavirus pandemic.	”

A child’s zip code should never dictate the quality of education they receive. A good education is the first step in the American Dream for our children. I pledge to fight any and all attempts to privatize our public education system for corporate gain. Politicians in Washington need to stop demonizing students and educators and work on fixing the issues that face our schools.

We must make sure that our teachers and their classrooms have the resources they need to teach our children. We must also ensure that public schools are fully funded, that we make investments in early childhood education programs and that students get the proper training to ensure they are prepared for a 21st Century economy.

IMPROVING HEALTH CARE

I believe that everyone should have access to good health care. That’s why I strongly opposed the heartless bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), raise premiums and take coverage away from more than 20 million Americans. This bill strips protections for people suffering from pre-existing conditions and reduces vital funding to protect older adults, children, women and people suffering from opioid addiction.

We need to stop the special interests attempts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and fix the real problems with the ACA by tackling the problem of higher premiums by controlling health care costs. Some ways we can do that are by lowering the costs of prescription drugs and allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices.

GROWING THE ECONOMY FOR BUSINESSES AND WORKERS

In order for our region to thrive we must build a diverse economy that strengthens the middle class by focusing on manufacturing and technology, small business creation, agriculture, education and career training. Government should and can reduce regulatory burden and create an environment that encourages investment and job creation by bringing together small businesses, local colleges and technical schools, and community leaders to start conversations that lead to the development of solutions; however, actual solutions depend on those in the private sector. I believe that government should be a partner to entrepreneurs, not an obstacle.

At the same time, costs are on the rise and we need to put policies in place that protect consumers so they have more money in their pockets. Whether it’s the cable bill, cell phone bill, utility bill or prescription drug costs, we need to focus on helping lower the cost of living and raising peoples’ pay. We should start by lowering prescription drug costs and preventing mega corporate mergers that create monopolies and drive up costs. Next, we need to keep taxes low and support an economy that rewards the American worker. This means cracking down on countries that cheat and eliminating tax breaks for big businesses that ship jobs overseas, instead pushing for smart tax policies that help businesses grow and hire. Finally, we need a real infrastructure plan to fix our aging roads, bridges and water systems. We also need to make sure every American has access to high-speed internet, especially, in our underserved urban and rural communities.

Perhaps most important, the 22nd District needs a representative who has proven their ability to work across party lines and with elected officials at all levels of government. Our district needs an independent voice with a track record of standing up to their own party and reaching across the aisle to get results.

PROTECTING SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE

Social Security and Medicare are earned benefits, a promise that older adults paid into during their lifetimes. There are some politicians in Washington who want to privatize Social Security and Medicare, and let Wall Street gamble with your hard earned money and take millions in fees. We can’t risk putting these programs through the ups and downs of the stock market.

I will never vote to privatize Social Security or Medicare. We must protect these vital programs for our older adults. I believe we must reduce the deficit, however, we must never balance the budget on the backs of hardworking older adults that rely on social security and Medicare for their retirement.

PRESERVE AND DEFEND OUR ENVIRONMENT

Protecting our environment should not be a partisan issue. Scientists all agree that climate change is real, and we are already seeing its devastating impact. I believe that elected officials must lead on this issue to protect our planet for future generations.

I support investing in research to help create jobs in clean energy that will help middle-class families living in the 22nd District and protect our environment.

NATIONAL SECURITY AND VETERANS

The fundamental purpose of our government is to protect its citizens. Our soldiers and veterans deserve our thanks and are entitled to the benefits they earned while defending our country. The Veterans Administration needs major reform. Veterans should not have to wait weeks to see a doctor or specialist, nor should Congress cut benefits for soldiers and veterans.

We must also protect our Department of Defense’s assets locally like the Air Force Research Laboratory at Rome Labs, the Defense Finance and Accounting Services and the Eastern Air Defense Sector. We must fight against bureaucrats who want to see these facilities closed or moved.

THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC

America has an addiction crisis. These deaths now kill more Americans than car accidents. Addiction affects families that are affluent and poor, Republican and Democrat, and young and old. This threatens our families, and we must do what it takes to solve this epidemic. We must give law enforcement, medical providers, and drug prevention workers the tools and resources they need to combat this crisis, and utilize federal funding for education, additional treatment facilities and to expand programs that fight the epidemic.

CHANGING OUR BROKEN CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS

America should be run for the people and by the people. But, with how expensive campaigns are becoming, citizens are finding it harder and harder to run for office—at all levels. In order for our legislatures to look more like our communities, we must reform our campaign finance system that rewards the connected and entrenched, and make it easier and more fair for all who want to serve their communities. That’s why I’m proud to be endorsed by End Citizen’s United; and, unlike my opponent, I have refused to accept Corporate PAC money in this campaign.

STANDING UP FOR WOMEN

Were it not for strong women in my life, I would not be where I am today. I’m appalled at the attacks from Washington politicians on women. Let me be clear: I am against cuts to Planned Parenthood and would fight any de-funding of the important programs they sponsor. I am also in favor of more protections in the workplace like the Paycheck Fairness Act that would finally close the gender gap in pay. As the father of both a daughter and son, my children should have the same opportunities, regardless of their gender.

SUPPORTING THE SECOND AMENDMENT AND COMMON SENSE REFORM

I believe that we can support the Second Amendment while also preventing guns from getting into the hands of criminals and those with dangerous mental conditions. In the Assembly, I stood up to my own party and voted against the SAFE Act because it was a bad law. At the same time, I stand with more than 90% of Americans in my support for improving the badly broken gun background check system that currently allows dangerous individuals to get their hands on guns. We must demand universal gun background checks across the country, just like we have here in New York. We must invest more in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to ensure those who are violently mentally ill, domestic abusers and people on the 'Do Not Fly List' aren't falling through the cracks and can’t get their hands on guns from the start. That system is now facing crippling cuts; I will work to undo them and preserve our public safety firewall. I agree with the Trump Administration's plan to tackle bump stocks and make sure action follows words. I will never accept a dime of campaign contributions from the NRA to ensure that special interests never control me.

These are issues that set me apart from my opponent, and I’ll be proud to work on them in Congress.

Campaign advertisements

The following is an example of an ad from Brindisi's 2018 election campaign.

"Another" released August 2, 2018

2011

On his campaign site, Brindisi highlighted the following campaign themes:

• Creating Jobs: "Anthony’s number one priority will be to help foster an environment to create good-paying private sector jobs. As a small business owner himself, Anthony will bring his experience to Albany and hit the ground running. As a consensus builder, Anthony will work with both political parties to make real change for this region and create an environment that encourages growth and entrepreneurship."

• Real Tax Relief: "Middle-class families in Upstate New York pay some of the highest taxes in America. That is simply wrong. Anthony knows that the best way to grow our local economy is to reduce the undue burdens on businesses, both small and large. We also need real budget reform so that government functions within its means and we no longer have runaway spending. Anthony will work for real tax relief for middle-class families so we can encourage economic growth."

• Strong Public Schools: "As a member of the Utica School Board, Anthony is an expert on how to improve our local public schools. Anthony will be a tireless advocate for students, parents and taxpayers and will help re-work the state's funding formula for our schools to ensure that Central New York gets its fair share in education funding."

• Fixing Albany: "We need an Assemblyman who will work to put New York State back on the right track. Anthony will be an independent voice for working families and will work with members of both political parties to move Central New York forward."

Legal challenges in New York's 22nd Congressional District election (2020)

See also: New York's 22nd Congressional District election, 2020

Following the November 3, 2020, election, Anthony Brindisi (D) and Claudia Tenney’s (R) campaigns joined a lawsuit challenging certain absentee and affidavit ballots. These challenges spanned a wide variety of issues, including: how the ballot was filled out; where the ballot was dropped off; and one case where it was argued a stained ballot should be rendered invalid since the stain might have been blood, which could be used to identify the voter. On February 8, 2021, following Oswego County Supreme Court Justice Scott DelConte's final ruling on the ballot challenges, Tenney was certified as the winner by 109 votes. Brindisi conceded the election the same day. To read more about the litigation, click here.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in New York

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
