The Hudson Valley Pilot and Kingston Wire will be co-hosting a special candidates’ forum with Democratic NYS Assembly District 103 candidates incumbent Sarahana Shrestha and challenger Gabi Madden on Monday, June 17th, at 6:00PM at Old Dutch Church, 272 Wall Street in Kingston, NY.

This will be a structured discussion moderated by Dan Barton, Managing Editor of Kingston Wire, and Eric Steinman, Executive Editor of the Hudson Valley Pilot. The public is encouraged to attend and admission is free. There will be a brief question and answer portion at the end of the program, when audience members will be encouraged to submit written questions to be asked of the candidates by one of the two moderators.

The forum is expected to last about 90 minutes and will be recorded by PANDA TV for broadcast on public access channel 23 as well as on their website.

Assembly District 103 includes most of Ulster County (including the city of Kingston) and part of Dutchess County (including Rhinebeck, Red Hook, and Tivoli).
