NEW YORK — From doorsteps in Windsor Terrace to market stands on the Upper West Side, an army of Democrats continue to battle for New York’s 10th and 12th Congressional Districts as they put their campaigns into high gear, with Election Day on Tuesday.
The races in the two Manhattan districts are the most-watched components of the city’s otherwise sleepy summer primary. The contests are expected to decide who will represent the lion’s share of Manhattan and a swath of brownstown Brooklyn — the general election is seen as a formality in the deep-blue districts.
Two longtime liberal lawmakers, Reps. Jerrold Nadler and Carolyn Maloney, are slugging it out in the 12th District, after a court-ordered redrawing smashed his Upper West Side territory and her Upper East Side district into a single seat.
