George Conway, a prominent critic of former President Donald Trump, has taken steps to launch a congressional campaign in New York City’s 12th District. On Monday, Conway filed the necessary paperwork to run as a Democrat, although he has yet to make an official announcement regarding his candidacy.
As he stands poised to enter what is becoming a highly competitive primary race to replace retiring Democratic Representative Jerry Nadler, Conway's candidacy marks a significant shift from his earlier support of Trump.
During Trump's presidency, Conway was married to Kellyanne Conway, a key advisor to Trump. However, he later emerged as a fierce critic of the former president, often voicing his dissent through various media platforms.
In addition to his anti-Trump advocacy, which included co-founding the Lincoln Project, Conway's personal life has also been in the spotlight following his recent divorce from Kellyanne in early 2023.
As the race shapes up, other notable candidates include Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy, and Micah Lasher, a former aide to Nadler and a current state lawmaker. New York’s 12th District, which spans from Union Square to the edges of Central Park, includes affluent neighborhoods such as the Upper East Side and Upper West Side.
