The Freelancers Union will host a candidate forum between NY-12 congressional candidates on Monday night as early voting is now in session for the June 23rd democratic primary elections.
The four candidates on the ballot include the incumbent, Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, second year challenger Suraj Patel, and progressive upstarts Lauren Ashcraft and Peter Harrison.
You can catch the forum live on the Freelancers Union Facebook page starting at 7 p.m.
Greenpointers published interviews with the three challengers last week and Congresswoman Maloney rescheduled her interview for later this week.
