Current, Former Representative of the 18th Congressional District to Debate Environmental Issues in Forum Tonight

Facing major concerns like clean energy, the cost of infrastructure upgrades and the need to prepare for a changing climate, Westchester County and the Hudson Valley are on the forefront of many sustainability challenges.

The next Congress member from the 18th District can help address issues like these, along with the protection of open space and cleaning up the Hudson River. But where do the candidates running for this important office stand on these and other environmental issues?

Find out for yourself at the 18th Congressional District Forum on Sustainability.

This candidate forum will take place on Tuesday, October 14th at Bedford Historical Society’s Historical Hall (608 Old Post Road, Bedford) from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

The New York League of Conservation Voters Education Fund is hosting this event.

Both candidates – incumbent Sean Patrick Maloney and challenger Nan Hayworth – will be questioned on a wide range of sustainability issues, including transit-oriented development, renewable energy, hydrofracking and much more.

This forum is the first of the campaign season to focus exclusively on sustainability. It is also a great opportunity for civic organizations, environmental groups, voters and all District 18 residents to find out where the candidates stand on issues that matter most.
