Tune in to QPTV as we bring you an in-depth look at the Republican and Democratic candidates for City Council from Districts 19, 20, 23, 30, and 32, Hosted by Victoria Schneps-Yunis, publisher of the Queens Courier. Council members will debate the pertinent issues facing their communities and how they plan on solving them, including healthcare concerns, education reform, and over-development. They are also given the opportunity to ask some controversial questions that may impact viewers' votes.
