After much effort, several Leagues working together were unable to schedule a candidate forum  for New York’s 21st Congressional District, between Republican Anthony Constantino and Democrat Blake Gendebien. North Country News provided an opportunity for two of the candidates to speak to voters here. 

Also, the League was unable to schedule a candidate forum for New York Assembly District 113 with candidates Allen Caruso, Thomas Kenny and Carrie Woerner.
