- The contest is for the seat vacated by retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler, with a heavily Democratic tilt making the June primary the decisive battle.
- He joins a crowded field that includes Jack Schlossberg, Cameron Kasky, Micah Lasher and Alex Bores, as rivals question his recent return and long GOP past.
