Curtis Sliwa, a mayoral candidate, visited St. Margaret's Parish Hall to discuss the mayoral race and answer questions at the Middle Village Resident's Association.
The meeting, led by community leader Paul Pogozelski, aimed to provide an "extra layer of civic engagement" to discuss issues related to Queens Community Board 5 and other topics, giving candidates a chance to speak to constituents.
"It's good to have representatives from different levels of the city government come here," said Pogozelski. "It shows we're gaining traction."
