Candidates running to replace Mayor Zohran Mamdani in the 36th Assembly District in western Queens took part in a candidate forum Jan. 3 at Astoria’s Powhatan and Pocahontas Democratic Club.
Diana Moreno, who secured a nomination from the Queens Democratic Party shortly after Saturday’s forum, joined fellow candidates Rana Abdelhamid, Mary Jobaida and Shivani Dhir at the packed event to outline their campaigns for the upcoming special election to replace Mamdani.
