A former member of Congress and a prominent foe of President Richard Nixon is launching a new bid for Congress in what she said was an effort to take on former President Donald Trump.
Former Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman, 80, confirmed this week she would join the Democrats vying to represent New York’s new 10th Congressional District, which will cover all of lower Manhattan and chunks of Brooklyn starting in January 2023. The field also includes ex-New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and Rep. Mondaire Jones, who currently represents New York’s 17th District, which is based in Westchester County.
As a member of the House Judiciary Committee in 1974, Holtzman recommended that articles of impeachment be brought against Nixon. He later resigned before he could be impeached.The 10th District is now held by longtime Rep. Jerrold Nadler, who will vacate that seat to run in the neighboring 12th District after the state’s redistricting process, leaving a rare open seat in the Brooklyn area.
