Rep. Carolyn Maloney Picks Up Another Primary Challenger

Suraj Patel, an attorney and businessman, announced Monday that he is running against Rep. Carolyn Maloney in the Democratic primary in June, handing her another serious challenger.

Patel challenged Maloney in the 2018 and 2020 election cycles as well, coming within four percentage points of unseating her on his second attempt.

He told HuffPost that he believes the challenges facing New York City as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying economic toll make the need for new blood that much more pressing.
