De Blasio Reportedly Eyes Congressional Run In Redrawn NYC District
Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is reportedly eyeing a congressional run in the state’s new 11th district just a month after leaving public office. The move, first reported by the New York Post, comes as Democrats in New York’s state legislature prepare to adopt new congressional lines that make the district, which includes Staten Island and part of Brooklyn, much more favorable to their own party. If de Blasio officially enters the race, he would face a primary against Max Rose, who held the seat from 2019-2021 and is now seeking a rematch against Republican Rep. Nicole
