News 12 sat down with Democrat Brian Cunningham and Working Families candidate Jelanie Deshong to learn more about how they would tackle the issues facing the district. Full interviews with the candidates are below:

Republican candidate Mesidor Azor is also on the ballot, but News 12 was not able to contact him for an interview.
