George Conway Files to Run for Nadler’s New York Seat as a Democrat

George Conway joins a crowded Democratic primary to succeed Jerry Nadler in a safe Manhattan district where Kamala Harris won over 80% of the vote in 2024.

  • On Monday, George Conway filed FEC paperwork to run as a Democrat in New York's 12th Congressional District, seeking the open seat of Rep. Jerrold Nadler.
  • After years of opposing Trump publicly, Conway, a former Republican, co-founded the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, becoming a prominent conservative critic of President Donald Trump.
  • The primary field already includes nationally known contenders such as Jack Schlossberg, Cameron Kasky, Micah Lasher, Alex Bores, Erik Bottcher and Jami Floyd in New York's 12th Congressional District, a reliably Democratic seat.
  • Shortly after the filing, Councilmember Erik Bottcher ended his House campaign to run for New York State Senate, and a source close to Conway said he 'will have more to say in the new year' after the holidays.
  • Bringing legal experience from Harvard Law School, Yale Law School, and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, Conway signals he will aid Reps. Jamie Raskin and Dan Goldman as a staunch Trump opponent.
