Overview

  • A Federal Election Commission Statement of Organization dated Dec. 22 establishes “George Conway for Congress” for a Democratic bid in Manhattan’s NY-12.
  • Conway has not formally launched a campaign, and a source says he plans to speak publicly after the holidays.
  • The filing lists a residence in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, reflecting a shift from his recent Maryland address.
  • The June 2026 primary features a crowded field that includes Jack Schlossberg, Micah Lasher, Alex Bores and Cameron Kasky, while Erik Bottcher has exited the race.
  • Conway, a former conservative lawyer and prominent critic of President Donald Trump, recently teased the move on his podcast and Substack and has signaled an anti-Trump focus.
