Former Democratic New York Representative Mondaire Jones launched a comeback bid on Wednesday to reclaim a House seat that is currently held by Republican Rep. Mike Lawler.
Mondaire Jones spoke at the"Just Majority" Supreme Court Reform Press Conference With Gun Violence Prevention Advocates on April 30, 2023 in White Plains, New York. He announced July 5, that he is running for Congress.
"Most people in Washington didn't grow up like me. They have no idea what it's like to struggle," said Jones, who was raised by a single mother and worked his way to Harvard Law School. "No matter how hard Mondaire Jones tries to run away from his previous record in Congress - just like he ran away from his constituents in 2022 - nothing will change the fact that Mondaire Jones is a radical progressive who is endorsed by AOC and ‘the Squad’, supports the defund the police movement and New York’s disastrous cashless bail law, and voted for the reckless spending that saddled us with record high inflation," Russell said.
