Carolyn Maloney, Jerry Nadler and Suraj Patel to debate Tuesday on WNYC

Light shines from the U.S. Capitol dome after sunset, Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2022, in Washington.

New York's second primary election of the summer is less than a month away, and voters in the newly drawn 12th Congressional District in Manhattan will get a chance to hear directly from the Democratic candidates Tuesday night.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney, attorney Suraj Patel and Rep. Jerry Nadler are all set to participate in a 90-minute debate starting at 7 p.m. It will air live on WNYC and on Spectrum News NY1, who are co-sponsoring the event.

WNYC Senior Politics Reporter Brigid Bergin will co-moderate the debate live from the CUNY Graduate Center, alongside NY1 Politics Anchor Errol Louis. 

Morning Edition host Michael Hill spoke to WNYC's Jon Campbell for a preview.
