I’d like to see his proof it is effective in stopping people from killing others. Data shows it isn’t.

Yet not a single person was executed under Pataki because the law was ruled unconstitutional. Start thinking of another reason the violent crime rate was cut in half, like maybe the crack cocaine epidemic declined lol.
"Polls showed that the majority of New Yorkers wanted the state's death penalty laws restored. Prior to Pataki's tenure, a bill to restore the death penalty had passed the Legislature for several years in a row only to be vetoed by Mario Cuomo. Pataki made the issue a top priority of his, and when the bill reached his desk in 1995, he signed it into law.
The New York Court of Appeals later ruled the death penalty law unconstitutional in a 4-3 decision in People v. LaValle (2004).[23] During Pataki's 12 years as governor, not a single person was executed in New York State."

You can't cherrypick "pro life."
Pro life means pro life. It means you support life & lives 100%, every time.

I liked Amy, but she doesn't seem ready for prime time.
Pretty sad about the field, actually. I'll vote for almost anyone, but I've been telling any Dem who will listen that if they go Bernie, I'm voting Trump. That should be a scary thought for Dems, because I doubt I'm alone.
