New York's 12th Congressional District Democratic Primary
February 9 – March 12, 2026
The Bottom Line
Longtime Congressman Jerry Nadler is retiring, leaving his powerful Manhattan seat open for the first time in decades. State Assemblyman Micah Lasher is now a top candidate after getting endorsements from Nadler himself and former Mayor Michael Bloomberg. This election will determine who represents this influential district as Congress faces major battles over government funding and national policy.
