1 week agoIt's Nadler vs. Pelosi on the Upper West Side
Jerry Nadler endorsed Micah Lasher for New York's 12th District, creating a contesting endorsement with Nancy Pelosi for Jack Schlossberg.
Assembly Member Micah Lasher received the first endorsements in his bid to succeed Rep. Jerry Nadler on Monday. Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal, New York City Council Members Gale Brewer and Shaun Abreu, former city Comptroller Scott Stringer and former Manhattan Borough President Ruth Messinger all endorsed Lasher, who is widely viewed as Nadler's heir apparent. Nadler currently represents the 12th Congressional District, which encompasses both the Upper East Side and Upper West Side of Manhattan.
