Today, Jim Geraghty’s suggestion for the Daily Donation is George Phillips, the Republican candidate in New York’s 22nd congressional district. He’s running against Rep. Maurice Hinchey. Jim explains:

[Phillips is] a former inner-city substitute teacher, former staffer for Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey, and current teacher at a Catholic school and community-college instructor.
Maurice Hinchey? Well, he’s in a Democratic district, but not an overwhelmingly one-party one: D+6. Yet he is among the most liberal members of Congress, with a lifetime ACU rating of 4.43. The nine-term Democrat supported the impeachment of George W. Bush and asserted that the former president deliberately let Osama bin Laden escape from Tora Bora.

Here’s Phillips’s website.
