The crowded primary race for a Manhattan congressional district
Briefly

The crowded primary race for a Manhattan congressional district
"I've been one of, if not the, legislature's leaders on legislation to fight back against Trump,"
"We need leaders that understand the way tech is reshaping power,"
"News flah! Republicans are lying!"
"We want a new generation of 24/7, seven day a week energy to the job, and that's the kind of energy I bring to my current role at the City Council,"
Multiple Democratic candidates are vying for New York's 12th congressional district seat after Rep. Jerry Nadler announced his retirement. The crowded primary includes nine Democrats such as Micah Lasher, Alex Bores, Erik Bottcher, and Jack Schlossberg, along with attorneys, a gun control advocate, and a nonprofit founder. Candidates emphasize creative legislation to oppose former President Donald Trump, regulation of Big Tech and social media, and energized, round‑the‑clock campaigning. Lasher identifies as Nadler's protégé and a legislative fighter. Bores prioritizes understanding tech's impact on power. Schlossberg uses social media for rapid messaging and rebuttals.
