Dan Maffei on the Campbell Conversations

The race for New York’s 24th congressional district seat is one of the most hotly contested and closely watched contests in the country. In an interview that took place on September 18th, Democratic challenger Dan Maffei -- the former holder of the seat who’s challenging Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle in a rematch -- looks back on his previous campaign.

He also discusses the wide gulf he sees between his policy positions and those of the incumbent, and addresses the general level of negativity in the race.
