 | | Wu, a self-described "New Democrat", has represented the district for nearly six years and hasn't faced a real challenge since his first run in 1998 against Molly Bordonaro in which he won 119,993 to 112,827 (also the only race in which his heavy spending was nearly matched, $1,627,959 to $1,367,154, according to PoliticalMoneyLine.com). |
 | | Also like Wu, she has roots in the region's technology sector, which is proudly known as the "Silicon Forest" (the district is home to Intel's largest base of operations, for example). |
 | | The kicker, for Wu, is that his district went for Gore by nearly 7 points in 2000 in a state decided by about four tenths of a percent. |
