Peter King has made a number of controversial comments and committed a few actions that were widely attacked during his time in Congress, and yet there is no mention of anything controversial on this page, presenting a very unbalanced picture. Earlier versions of this page included both King's legislative accomplishments and some of the controversial comments (e.g. endorsement of racial profiling, and condemning an opponent for accepting campaign contributions from an Islamic group which King himself had accepted an even greater donation from). The page has been vastly expanded since I last looked at it, and it has at the same time become far less neutral.

2008 election
King again sought re-election to Congress in 2008 and while the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) had planned to target King's seat in 2008, they let the Nassau Democrats find a candidate and effectively removed NY-03 from their watchlist. The Nassau Democrats fielded Graham Long in a long-shot bid to defeat King.[1]. Long works for Nassau County as a member of the Long Island Regional Planning Board, and his family owns a catering business in Glen Cove.
King won the 2008 election, garnering 64% of the vote.
That seems to me to be all about the DCCC, and has not much to do with the article. This is about King.
How about:
King again sought re-election to Congress in 2008. The Democrats fielded Graham Long in a long-shot bid to defeat King.[2] King won the 2008 election with 64% of the vote.
