Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney on Combatting Gun Violence
NEW YORK (AP) — Two New York Democrats have been ousted from the U.S. House in primary elections after redistricting shuffled congressional districts in one of the nation’s largest liberal states.
A 15-term incumbent who chairs a powerful House committee, Carolyn Maloney, and a first-term progressive, Mondaire Jones, one of the first openly gay Black members of Congress, lost their elections. Maloney lost to her longtime colleague, congressman Jerry Nadler.
Jones lost in a crowded race for a new district. The chair of the House Democrats’ campaign arm, Sean Patrick Maloney, survived a primary challenge of his own from a progressive.
