Parkland survivor launches bid for Nadler’s seat
Cameron Kasky campaigns on Medicare for All, AI opposition, and immigration reform, emphasizing issues over age in New York’s competitive Democratic primary.
- On Tuesday morning, Cameron Kasky, Parkland survivor and activist, announced he will run in New York's 12th Congressional District to replace 78-year-old Rep. Jerrold Nadler.
- After leaving Columbia, Kasky moved from disillusionment to renewed activism by reconnecting with Parkland survivors and their families, enduring swatting and doxxing, and aggressively considering a campaign in September.
- In a Monday interview, Kasky outlined a dozen issues including AI opposition, Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and stopping funding for what he described as the genocide in Gaza, insisting he is not `running on youth`.
- The crowded Democratic primary now includes Jack Schlossberg, 32-year-old candidate and grandson of John F. Kennedy Jr., who announced last week amid a weighty moment for youth in the Democratic Party.
- Recruitment of younger candidates has provoked backlash, as seen in David Hogg's June exit from the Democratic National Committee, while the party's future remains uncertain as younger entrants press Kasky's policy priorities.
