George Conway Weighs Run for New York’s 12th District

A CNN report says the conservative-turned-Trump-critic is exploring a Democratic primary bid as an independent.

Overview

  • CNN, citing a source familiar with the matter, reports Conway is actively considering entering the race for the Manhattan-based House seat.
  • He has not announced a campaign and declined to comment when contacted by reporters.
  • Although registered as an independent, New York law allows him to seek the Democratic nomination.
  • The contest opened after Rep. Jerry Nadler said he would not seek reelection in the heavily Democratic district where the primary is likely decisive.
  • Jack Schlossberg entered the race this week, and coverage highlights Conway’s national profile from his break with conservative legal circles and outspoken criticism of the president.
