George Conway Files to Run for Congress in New York’s 12th District as a Democrat

His FEC move places the anti-Trump lawyer in a decisive Manhattan primary to replace retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler.

Overview

  • Conway filed a Federal Election Commission statement creating the “George Conway for Congress” principal campaign committee for New York’s 12th District.
  • A source close to Conway said the filing is a prerequisite to run and that he plans to speak further in the new year.
  • The deep-blue district makes the June 2026 Democratic primary the race that will effectively decide Nadler’s successor.
  • He enters a crowded field that includes Jack Schlossberg, Micah Lasher, Alex Bores, Cameron Kasky, Alan Pardee and Jami Floyd.
  • New York City Council member Erik Bottcher ended his House bid and will instead pursue a newly open state Senate seat.
