NEW: Former Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that he would form an exploratory committee to run for the newly drawn 10th Congressional District, which includes Lower Manhattan and the Brooklyn areas of Park Slope and Borough Park.
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.
