18th Congressional District Candidates featured at October breakfast

The Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce’s October Contact Breakfast—from 7:30-9 a.m. on Wednesday, October 19—will include a forum between Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney and challenger Phil Oliva. The candidates for New York’s 18th Congressional District will each have an opportunity to speak about where they stand on pertinent issues and answer questions.
