Strategy

Travel: Chuck Around New York
Chuck travels around New York every year. He visits every 62 counties every year which he is continually meeting new constituents every time.  Already in 2015 he has been to 15 different counties. It looks like he likes to stay around and travel the state of New York to get in touch with his constituents better. Being New York is close to D.C. it doesn't take much of travel time to get there so that also means more time around his people in his home state. Here is a list of a few of the places where he has been and what he was doing in the area at that time.
