The Bayswater Civic Association hosted a Queens borough president candidate forum, with Costa Constantinides, Jim Quinn, Anthony Miranda and Elizabeth Crowley appearing before an audience of approximately 50 people. The forum was moderated by Eugene Falik, with remarks by Bayswater Civic Association President Enid Glabman.
The Democratic race for Public Advocate came to a close Monday night as the two remaining candidates attended their last joint forum. Letitia James and Daniel Squadron addressed the Bayswater Civic Association, in the Bayswater section of Rockaway. They spoke separately, crossing paths briefly. Squadron arrived toward the end of James’ presentation, sitting quietly in the audience. As James left, they exchanged smiles and a quick wave.
We spoke separately with each, asking the same two questions: First, your thoughts as you close out the last night of a long campaign? Second, your thoughts on the ugly turn in the race? Here’s what they had to say.
