NEW YORK(77WABC) — Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is reportedly looking to run for Congress.
This would likely set up a possible democratic primary battle with former Representative Max Rose in a June primary.
The winner would face incumbent Republican Nicole Malliotakis, whose advantage in a district that supported Donald Trump in 2020 was diminished by new district lines released this week that swap out swing areas in Southern Brooklyn with more progressive neighborhoods. The ex-mayor’s Park Slope Brooklyn home is one of the redistricted areas.
The statement, provided by her campaign, said she’d run for her seat again despite the new lines.
