NY-12: Schlossberg (D), Bores (D) see early strength in Congressional primary as first polls trickle in

The packed Democratic primary field in New York’s 12th Congressional District is beginning to take shape ahead of the June primary.

Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg and Assembly Member Alex Bores (D-Manhattan) are emerging in polls as early favorites, with Assembly Member Micah Lasher (D-Manhattan) and lawyer George Conway, who registered as a Democrat just last year, in close pursuit.

A whopping 10 Democrats are looking to get their names on the ballot in the district, which has long been represented by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-Manhattan) and encompasses the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, and Midtown Manhattan. Nadler has endorsed Lasher to succeed him in Congress.

The field is beginning to thin out, with finance professional Alan Pardee dropping out last week and gun control activist Cameron Kasky dropping out in January. On Wednesday, LGBTQ+ activist Matthew Shurka also dropped his bid for the seat, endorsing Bores.
