Beyond the Yard Signs: The Fight for NY-12
Please note: Jack Schlossberg had previously agreed to participate in this event but is no longer attending. The forum will proceed as scheduled with the confirmed candidates.
Are you a voter who cares more about what your next House rep will build than who they'll fight? Join us for a debate between the leading candidates in one of the most competitive and expensive House primaries in the nation - the NY 12 race.
This isn't your typical hyper-partisan primary forum. UNMUTED is built for people who ask questions that require politicians to think, not pontificate. It's not about your politics, it's about your temperament.
Alex Bores: State Assemblymember, Upper East Side. Born and raised in NY-12. Engineer and former data scientist. Named NYC's most effective new legislator, and the #1 target of a $10M super PAC funded by Trump's largest donors.
Micah Lasher: State Assemblymember, Upper West Side. Nadler's chosen successor. Policy director for Governor Hochul, legislative director for Mayor Bloomberg, chief of staff to the AG. Backed by Bloomberg and the district's Democratic establishment.
George Conway: Prominent attorney, writer, and political commentator. One of the country’s most recognizable legal critics of Donald Trump, known for his sharp analysis of the Constitution, executive power, and the rule of law.
Moderated by Andrea Jones-Rooy, NYU professor, comedian, former 538 data scientist, and host of Behind the Data.
Over 1,000 unique attendees and 70 events, UNMUTED is building the nonpartisan discussion forum for the politically curious, where talking points go to die.
***INCLUSION CRITERIA: All candidates who have received more than $1M in non-self funding have been formally invited to this event. This was done to ensure a deeper and substantive conversation for the candidates with demonstrated broad-based support. Should other candidates reach this criteria, they will be invited, as well.***
