In contrast to the sharp tenor of the race in its final weeks, Congress Member Jerry Nadler showed humility while celebrating his landslide win in the all-Manhattan 12th District race, praising Carolyn Maloney, his House ally and colleague of more than 30 years, and insurgent candidate Suraj Patel.
“I’m so proud of tonight’s victory and I’m thrilled that we were able to win while remaining committed to our principles of kindness and progressivism,” Nadler said in his victory speech.
