Roosevelt Island's long time Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney

has an oppenent in the June 26 Democratic Party primary tomorrow. Political newcomer Suraj Patel
is running against Ms Maloney, a 25 year incumbent,
to represent the 12 Congressional District that includes Roosevelt Island as well as other portions of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens (District Map here).

Mr. Patel spoke with me and the Roosevelt Island Daily during his June 8 visit to the Roosevelt Island Senior Center.

The Roosevelt Island Daily asked Mr. Patel about Roosevelt Island issues 



and I followed up asking about the power of Congressional seniority and incumbency on the race.

Here's Ms Maloney

The polling location for most Roosevelt Island residents is PS/IS 217 at 645 Main Street except for Octagon residents who vote at Coler Hospital ( 900 Main Street)
