WASHINGTON — Two veteran House Democrats from New York City would be forced into a primary face-off to represent a new Manhattan-based district under a draft of a redrawn congressional map for the state.
Representatives Carolyn Maloney and Jerrold Nadler, both of whom have been in Congress for 30 years and head influential House committees, said on Twitter that they would run for the 12th District seat.
The map, if approved by a state court, also would pit Sean Patrick Maloney, chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, against Mondaire Jones, a progressive first elected in 2020 from a district that spans Rockland and northern Westchester counties just north of New York City.
