I spoke with three of the candidates running to succeed the retiring Jerry Nadler to represent Roosevelt Island and the West and East sides of Manhattan in the 12 Congressional District during last Saturday’s Roosevelt Island Day.
I did not see any of the other candidates at Roosevelt Island Day but am told that Jack Schlossberg and Patrick Timmins were there.
For more info on the election, here’s the June 4 PIX 11 debate between the candidates.
When asked to choose “East Side or West Side”, Mr. Bores was the only candidate to choose Roosevelt Island.
