Now Taking Your Questions for the Candidates

The races are heating up for positions in the New York State Assembly, New York State Senate and U.S. Congressional District seats representing Bedford and Katonah.

As the candidates identify key issues, and clarify their positions on those issues, we will be speaking with each of the candidates as the election process draws near.

Do you know the candidates? What their positions are on education, the environment, taxes or government spending? You are the taxpayers that will elect them into office and you are the people they will represent in office.

Many candidates are making appearances in Bedford and Katonah in these last few weeks before the election. But if you won't have the opportunity to meet them in person, here is your chance to ask questions.

We'll get the answers from:

• Nan Hayworth, Republican candidate for 19th Congressional District and her opponent,
• John Hall, the incumbent Democratic candidate in the U.S. House of Representatives
• Thomas Roach, the Democratic candidate for the New York Assembly, 89th District, and his opponent,
• Robert Castelli, the incumbent Republican
• Greg Ball, Republican and Conservative candidate for New York State Senator, 40th District and his opponent,
•  Mike Kaplowitz, Democratic candidate

So post your questions here all week. We'll be interviewing your candidates in the races representing this community in the next few weeks and we'll post the answers that you, the voters, need to know.

Check back with Patch for video coverage of Tuesday's debate between Castelli and Roach, to be held at 7 p.m. at the Chappaqua Library Theater, and  Wednesday's debate in Yorktown between Kaplowitz and Ball, to be held at  6 p.m. at the Yorktown Stage at 1974 Commerce Street.
