It’s hard to believe, but election season is once again upon us. One of the neighborhood’s most influential political organizations, CODA (Coalition for a District Alternative), is holding a Democratic candidate forum Thursday night. U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney and her District 14 challenger Reshma Saujani have been invited to participate, as well as U.S. Rep. Nydia Velazquez and her District 12 opponent, Bruce Hirschfeld. State Senator Daniel Squadron (District 25) and Assemblymember Brian Kavanagh (District 74) have been invited, as well. They are running unopposed. The forum will take place at 535 East 5th Street, at 7pm.
