The New York Times••nation
Key Points:
- George T. Conway III, a former conservative lawyer and ex-Republican, has registered as a Democrat and entered the primary race for New York’s 12th Congressional District, a heavily Democratic area in Manhattan.
- Conway, once married to Trump aide Kellyanne Conway, has become a vocal critic of President Trump, accusing him of running the government like a mob operation.
- His candidacy aims to bring "special skills" to challenge what he sees as criminal behavior in the Trump administration, but his past Republican ties and recent move to Manhattan could pose challenges in winning over voters.
- The 12th District is one of the most liberal and politically active districts in the country, with Democrats outnumbering Republicans seven to one
