About

Twenty-two years ago today, Daniel Feldman, Melina Katz, Noach Deer and Anthony Weiner participated in the Democratic Primary for the 9th District Congressional seat in New York. Early Pollsters gave Dan’s campaign cigars after conducting its first run of polls in the 9th Congressional District in New York. Dan was clearly the favorite — but there was an issue. Hear how the 1998 Congressional Primary to replace Chuck Schumer ultimately played out and how New York and national politics was forever changed by this one, hotly contested, four-way race for the Democratic nomination for Congress, a sure-fire bet to ultimately be elected. Deer, Katz, Weiner and Feldman all vying for the seat until Election Day.
