"Schlossberg, who is looking to use the Kennedy family legacy and his online popularity to win the district, is seeing early signs of hope in the race, leading the field in two polls released in the past week. In a GQR poll commissioned by Conway's campaign, Schlossberg is leading the field with a plurality it found that 25% would vote for Schlossberg, 16% would favor Conway, and 11% would swing for each Lasher and Bores."
"A whopping 10 Democrats are looking to get their names on the ballot in the district, which has long been represented by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-Manhattan) and encompasses the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, and Midtown Manhattan. Nadler has endorsed Lasher to succeed him in Congress."
"The field is beginning to thin out, with finance professional Alan Pardee dropping out last week and gun control activist Cameron Kasky dropping out in January. On Wednesday, LGBTQ+ activist Matthew Shurka also dropped his bid for the seat, endorsing Bores."
New York's 12th Congressional District Democratic primary features a crowded field of ten candidates vying to succeed retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler. Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg and Assembly Member Alex Bores emerge as early frontrunners in polling, with Assembly Member Micah Lasher and lawyer George Conway following closely. Nadler has endorsed Lasher as his successor. The field has begun narrowing, with several candidates dropping out, including finance professional Alan Pardee and gun control activist Cameron Kasky. LGBTQ+ activist Matthew Shurka recently withdrew and endorsed Bores. Early polls show Schlossberg leading with 25% support, leveraging Kennedy family legacy and online popularity. The district encompasses Manhattan's Upper West Side, Upper East Side, and Midtown areas.
