"Look, generational change is on the ballot. Two candidates in this race, Maloney and Nadler, are offering more of the same, status quo," Patel, a 38-year-old attorney, said when asked about his chances of pulling off a surprise victory on Tuesday.
Nadler has been a member of Congress since 1992, serving prior to that in the New York State Assembly since the 1970s. Maloney has been a member of Congress since 1993, serving as a member of the New York City Council prior to that since the 1980s.
