Canvassing
There are 6 competitive congressional districts close enough for a day trip by car or train.
NY-18 Pat Ryan is running to hold this seat that he just won in a special election. This district is rated D+3. The canvassing sites are a little more than an hour’s drive from Riverdale. Due to redrawn maps, Ryan is in a different district and many voters may not know him. FiveThirtyEight rates the race lean D.
