Cinquemani filed a federal lawsuit alleging Mount Vernon blocked a planned voter-outreach town hall at the Doles Recreation Center, in violation of his First Amendment rights. Judge Nelson Roman adjourned the matter until October, giving the city time to allow the event. Cinquemani said he expected the event—tentatively set for September 24—to proceed, with Bruce Blakeman and the statewide Republican ticket invited, and candidates agreeing not to bring campaign signs or literature. These are his allegations, not court findings.
