On Sunday afternoon, Adam hosted the latest of his twice-weekly virtual town halls. The engaging conversation was focused around the theme of grassroots engagement, specifically, how the campaign is working to engage every community in the 17th District, discussing what volunteers can do to get involved, and reaching every voter ahead of the June 23rd primary.

The town hall was co-hosted by over 100 local residents, volunteers and activists from every corner of the 17th District who have been officially designated as “captains” of the campaign for their respective neighborhoods in Rockland and Westchester.
