RACE ANALYSIS

The Bottom Line

Updated: Feb 16, 2018

In 2018, the 13-term Maloney faces a primary from 34 year old attorney and former Obama White House advance staffer Suraj Patel. Patel turned some heads by raising $526,000 last quarter, but that may not get him very far in Manhattan. Democrats here tend to vote reflexively for Maloney: in her 2010 primary, she annihilated well-funded 34 year old hedge fund lawyer Reshma Saujani 81 percent to 19 percent.
