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

He has begun testing a bid, telling donors he would focus on Justice Department accountability.

Overview

  • Conway told a private Democracy Docket event he would enter the race as a Democrat and framed his potential campaign around legal accountability for Trump-era officials.
  • He cited Senate Democrats’ vote to reopen the government without a deal on expiring health care subsidies as a trigger for weighing a run.
  • Reporting says he has met with Democratic activists and hired pollster Anna Greenberg as he gauges support.
  • He is reportedly seeking a Manhattan apartment while currently living in Bethesda, Maryland, as attention turns to his residency optics.
  • If he runs, he would join a crowded Democratic field that includes Jack Schlossberg and Cameron Kasky, though he has not formally launched a campaign.
