"Joseph Crowley's 1998 election was endorsed as half a nomination predecessor from Thomas Manton, Queens Democratic leader." What does this sentence mean? What is it trying to say? 74.72.227.201 (talk) 06:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Joseph Crowley is pro-life

edit

I think that we should indicate that Joseph Crowley is one of the very few pro-life Democrats. This is essential and would be valid to mention, since pro-lifers have had little toleration from the party, and are often overlooked and disregarded. --96.232.57.106 (talk) 02:18, 19 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Joseph Crowley's votes reflect that he is Pro-Choice

edit

While he may have been Pro-Life in the past, and I can not say anything for his personal views on the matter, the data shows that he, in fact, votes pro-choice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kwade80 (talkcontribs) 06:16, 19 November 2012‎

Donors section

edit

Should there even be a separate section for donors? That seems pretty unusual. I'd be in favor of updating and folding this info into another section.Frankam12 (talk)

No, this section is non-standard, out-of-date, and poorly sourced. I would be in favor of removing it all together and perhaps putting a link to his OpenSecrets page in the external links section. Champaign Supernova (talk) 16:55, 6 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Queens

edit

"He lives in his family's longtime home in Virginia." Doesn't he own a home in NY, which he "represents"? Or has get gone D.C. on us? 98.10.165.90 (talk) 00:38, 25 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Not NPOV

edit

Some of this article is clearly not NPOV, such as: "Crowley has committed to making sure immigrants have access to the rights and freedoms they deserve." That sounds like it was lifted from campaign literature. I know almost nothing about Congressmen Crowley. Could someone with more knowledge make the article more neutral?

Requested move 29 June 2018

edit
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved as proposed. Please note that "[policy] is a foolish policy" is not an argument that can be given a lot of weight here. The solution to bad policies is to propose changes to policy, rather than to oppose its application. bd2412 T 18:11, 9 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Claim that "Crowley’s unexpected defeat is considered one of the biggest upsets in congressional history." requires sourcing.

edit

Nothing in the source cited says anything about the historical relevance of the upset. While this would be relevant for the page (maybe the first section?), that sort of claim requires citation.

I've removed it for now, because this is an active news story and I almost quoted it myself citing the Washington Post article, and I think it's reasonable other people almost (or did) make that mistake as well. I'll come back to this in a bit and look around myself for any citation for similar claims, but other people should feel free to do it themselves, too. Gaditb (talk) 23:41, 1 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

FWIW I agree with your edit. Too much WP:Recentism. What about Tom Foley and Dan Rostenkowski's defeats in 1994. Ron Packard being elected as a write-in after losing the Republican primary in 1982? Unfortunately my congressional election knowledge thins out for anything before 1980. Its all a matter of opinion and this is an encyclopedia....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:30, 2 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I added Working Families Party to the infobox because he will only be running on that ticket in this November's election. -- Sleyece (talk) 00:09, 14 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
