New York City’s hottest club is the Democratic primary for the 12th congressional district. This race has everything. Never Trump poster-boy George Conway has joined a famous legal pundit, a big-time finance guy, the hottest politicians and even a Kennedy. Best of all, one of them will get an automatic ticket to an even more exclusive room: Congress.
Yes, even “Saturday Night Live’s” Stefon would appreciate the crowded primary to succeed the retiring Rep. Jerrold Nadler, who has held this seat since 1992, back when the hottest spots in New York were the Limelight and Palladium. The open seat covering some of the most reliably blue neighborhoods in the nation is close to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; some of the hopefuls weren’t even born when Nadler was first elected.
