High-profile conservative lawyer and longtime critic of President Donald Trump, George Conway III, officially launched his campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday, entering the Democratic primary in New York's 12th Congressional District.
In remarks this week and in his campaign launch video, Conway framed his bid as a response to what he described as existential threats to democratic norms. Released on January 6, the fifth anniversary of the U.S. Capitol attack in 2021, the video interspersed footage of that day with scenes highlighting concerns about immigration enforcement and economic strain, signaling the broad themes of his message.
