In 2010, Chris Collins was considering running for Governor of NY. When he dropped out, he chose to NOT endorse Congressman Rick Lazio for Governor (who Hillary had beaten to get the US Senate seat from NY). Collins wanted anyone else, and pondered cross endorsing Democrat Steve Levy who NYS GOP Chairman Ed (Council on Foreign Relations) Cox was pushing.
In 2015, Collins Chief of Staff Christopher Grant's house was raided by State and Federal Officials. https:// www.politico.com/story/2015/05/rep-collins-chief-of-staff-has-home-raided-by-investigators-118435 - Grant - Vice President Axiom Strategies
There are House members that are buddies with the Collins/Axiom alliance who have participated in things that are not good. Let's just say that I'm not a fan of this fraternity.
