US EditionTrump Critic George Conway Launches Democratic Bid for Nadler Seat in New York
Conway enters a crowded Democratic primary aiming to impeach Trump and pass laws to safeguard democracy, emphasizing his legal expertise and $900,000 in donations to the party, campaign filings show.
- On Tuesday, George Conway announced he is running for New York's 12th Congressional District to succeed Rep. Jerrold Nadler, who said last year he would not seek reelection.
- Having relocated back to Manhattan a few weeks ago, Conway said a friend's frustration with Democrats' vote and advice to avoid challenging Rep. Jamie Raskin, Maryland congressman, spurred his run.
- A nationally known Trump critic, Conway is a former Republican who co-founded the Lincoln Project, was married to Kellyanne Conway, and says he won't take corporate PAC money or serve long.
- His entry joins a crowded field, adding to a flood of Democrats competing to replace Nadler and testing whether George Conway's Trump opposition and social media following can win Manhattan voters.
- The field features well-known names such as Jack Schlossberg, Micah Lasher and Cameron Kasky, while Conway described himself as a `special teams player` fighting Trumpism from Congress.
