With less than two weeks until the midterms, MNN’s Race to Represent is here to bring you more from your candidates. Listen to their thoughts on issues that matter to you, and get to know where they stand on critical issues such as the decriminalization of marijuana, combatting overdevelopment in city neighborhoods, and fixing the unreliable MTA system.

This Wednesday night, watch State Senator Brian Kavanagh and his Republican challenger Anthony Arias debate the issues affecting Lower Manhattan (District 26). Then, tune in to an interview with Democratic Assembly Member Richard Gottfried (District 75 - Murray Hill, Chelsea, Clinton, Midtown West, UWS).

Tune in on Wednesday, October 24, at 8 pm on MNN1 (Spectrum 34 & 1995, RCN 82, FiOS 33), MNNHD (Spectrum 1993) or MNN's YouTube channel.
