Candidates for the Democratic nomination for New York Attorney General will attend a forum hosted by the Democratic Rural Conference of New York State (DRC) at 7 pm on Monday, August 27, at Genesee Community College in Batavia. Leecia Eve, Sean Patrick Maloney, and Zephyr Teachout have all confirmed their attendance at the event.
DRC Chair Irene Stein said, "We're very glad to be able to create this opportunity for our membership to hear from these candidates. It would be difficult for those running for Attorney General to visit each of our counties in this truncated campaign; this allows them to speak to rural Democrats and their concerns in a very direct way."
Candidates will be able to make introductory statements, answer questions from DRC Board members about rural issues, and take questions from the audience.
