Rep. Jerry Nadler and Rep. Carolyn Maloney have had a long history of friendship and working together in Congress. But when the new maps were approved for the 12th Congressional District, they were faced with a tough call: sit out the next election or run against a longtime colleague. Now, the politicians from the East Side and the West Side are facing off. Making the race more interesting is a third candidate, Suraj Patel, who hopes that he can pull enough votes away from the septuagenarians to secure a victory. Pat Kiernan speaks with NY1 political reporters to discuss the race.
