Former Mayor de Blasio announces interest in congressional seat

that state Senator Simcha Felder and Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon, both in Brooklyn, said they may also run — while Scott Stringer, the former city comptroller and mayoral candidate, did not rule it out. Hours after announcing his interest to run, de Blasio was endorsed by Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte, the head of the Brooklyn Democratic Party.

Portions of the newly drawn 10th District overlap with the existing district held by Rep. Jerrold Nalder, a long-serving Upper West Side Democrat who said he plans to run for the newly configured 12th District that includes the Upper East Side. That primary is now poised to pit Nadler against Carolyn Maloney, another veteran member of Congress.

Since leaving office, de Blasio – who previously ran for president – has devoted his time to commenting on national politics. He’s appeared as a guest on MSNBC and penned essays on how President Joe Biden and Democrats should hone their message to voters in the upcoming midterm elections.

The brianlehrer WNYC trustafarian fanboys are loving them some billdeblasio, aren’t they?

No.

These ultra wealthy lifetime politicians just need to go away! Find someone who truly represents. FWIW I don’t hate Deblasio. He ended up being very right on many issues including Cuomo and the pandemic extortion. I wish him well. Just find new blood!

Enough if him and his wife. Let him get a real job

Sigh

Cannot wait. A complete joke. I do not elect politicians to redistribute wealth. Cannot wait to get out of NYCgothamist

Can you just leave us alone, please? corrupted

They govt teet is too sweet to give up

I don’t think he should run for anything else.

Stop posting about this 🤡🤡, every single NYer despises this thief. He’s too progressive (actually just a lying thief) to properly represent constituents of NYC.

I will move to these neighborhoods to vote no. Guarantee he’ll still insist on doing 9:30 am weekday workouts at the Park Slope Y before taking the Acela.

BilldeBlasio before You explore Anything,Why don’t You RETURN THE MONEYS YOU and YOUR WIFE Took from the PEOPLE of NEW YORK in “ThriveNYC”———$1.8 billion dollars,Where is their money.? You and her can’t explain——-BULLSHIT, Both are THIEVES

No… but also why are our districts laid out as insanely as the most gerrymandered southern states. Lower Manhattan, Borough Park and Park Slope couldnt be more different in wants, needs and opinions and they are only vaguely geographically close to each other

Something left and right New Yorkers can agree on — we don’t want de Blasio.

Im not a NYer but this sounds good to me.

Weren’t the district changes for the state postponed or rejected by a court Was NYC’s accepted separately from the rest of the state?

Why?

Nooooo let someone else have the opportunity to lead

He has my vote.

He should be worrying about Thrive money! If his wife had help to address NYC mental health issues there would have less psycho running amuck on the streets. It’s just like CityTine under Bloomberg cost over run they claimed without no one investigating his cronies.

😕 Nah. Not again. Ever.

No thanks

PopulismUpdates he would be a good, progressive congressman

Don’t waste your time Magellan. Get out of NYC

LOL, cant he go away

As an aside, I'm always amazed that NYC alone has 13 congressional districts. (I live in OR-2, which takes around ten hours to drive across).

Nadler needs to move there

I think Nadler vacating this seat is a huge mistake. That being said, Blasio won't win. We hate him here.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Let me help. No need to explore anything. No one wants you.

This is smart because all of NYC loves him, oh wait no that's pizza, we hate this guy.

😂🤣😂🤣😂

As of he didn’t do enough damage to NYC

how about you go away instead
