Jerrold Nadler and Carolyn Maloney have a combined 60 years of experience on Capitol Hill, often fighting for the same issues as tried and true Democrats. But now, they find themselves against each other seeking re-election after redistricting cast them both in New York’s 12th District starting next January.
Not long after the revised maps became official, both Nadler and Maloney made clear neither would bow for the other, and both would leave it to the voters to decide who would represent them. Of course, this isn’t a two-way race — as Suraj Patel, who unsuccessfully tried to defeat Maloney in the last two Congressional primaries, now seeks to knock both incumbents off in one fell swoop.
