Fact-Checking Sliwa and the Races to Watch in NYC and Nassau County

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 26, 2021

Brigid Bergin, WNYC's senior political correspondent, and Zach Williams, senior state politics reporter at City & State NY, review some of the competitive races in NYC and Nassau County.

But first, City Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez (10th District, Washington Heights, Inwood and Marble Hill) fact-checks Curtis Sliwa's erroneous claim in last night's debate that he's not a citizen.

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
