Eight candidates are competing in the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th congressional district. The race follows Rep. Jerry Nadler’s September 2025 announcement that he would not seek reelection after 34 years in Congress.
680news.comEight candidates are competing in Tuesday’s Democratic primary to replace Rep. Jerry Nadler in New York’s 12th congressional district. The district is heavily Democratic, making the winner the presumptive general-election favorite. The candidates include media personality George Conway, Jack Schlossberg, state Rep.
Micah Lasher and state Rep. Alex Bores. Conway changed his residence from Maryland to Manhattan and registered as a Democrat to enter the race. Schlossberg, a grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, entered the race in November 2025.
Lasher leads in recent polls and has received endorsements from Nadler, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former New York Gov. David Paterson. His platform includes measures on climate change and transgender medical procedures for minors.
Bores, a former Palantir employee, has endorsements from the New York Nurses Association, the United Federation of Teachers and the Uniformed Fire Officers Association. Schlossberg’s campaign priorities include codifying abortion access, allowing Medicaid reimbursement for Planned Parenthood services, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and expanding access to transgender medical procedures.
Conway has centered his campaign on opposition to President Donald Trump.
During a NY1 debate, several candidates criticized Bores over campaign contributions from technology companies. Lasher said Bores received support from Anthropic and a cryptocurrency investor while omitting details about other donors. Bores responded that the race reflects differing views on AI regulation rather than competition between individual companies.
Nadler, 78, announced his retirement in September 2025 after serving 34 years in the House.
