One wants to return to Congress, the other wants to take a seat in the House of Representatives for the first time.
Former Congressman Tom Suozzi and New York State Senator Tim Kennedy are holding a joint fundraiser on Wednesday, January 10 at the headquarters of the United Federation of Teachers in Manhattan.
The two, both Democrats, come from opposite corners of the Empire State, Suozzi from Long Island, Kennedy from Buffalo.

The fundraiser is set for the UFT at 52 Broadway in Lower Manhattan, Second Floor, Shankar Hall. The online address for an RSVP is https://bit.ly/kennedysuozzi
