Bayside Hills Candidates Night Set for Oct. 29

The Bayside Hills Civic Association will host a candidates night for four citywide races on Oct. 29.

The event will take place at 8 p.m. at the Colonial Church of Bayside, located at Bell Boulevard at Luke Place and 216th Street.

City Council candidates who are invited to attend are Councilman Mark Weprin, D-Oakland Gardens, and Joe Concannon, a retired police captain who is running against Weprin on the Reform line.

Democrat Paul Vallone and Republican Dennis Saffran are not on the list because their district does not cover the portion of the neighborhood represented by the civic association.

Queens borough president candidates Melinda Katz and Aurelio “Tony” Arcabascio have also been invited as well as comptroller candidates Scott Stringer and John L. Burnett.

Michael Feiner, the civic’s president, said that those thinking about attending the candidates night should keep an eye out closer to the event to find out if mayoral candidates Bill de Blasio and Joe Lhota plan to show up.

The civic is currently collecting questions for the candidates from the community. To submit a question, visit the civic’s Facebook page.
