Reports: Bill de Blasio Contemplating Run for CongressSimon Kent 3 Feb 2022
Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is reportedly ready for Washington and a tilt at a U.S. House seat just weeks after he left his former post.
Both the New York Post and Politico cited people with insight into the former mayor’s thinking Wednesday, claiming de Blasio is eyeing a run in New York’s 11th Congressional District after redistricting expanded it to include Park Slope, where the aspiring Democrat Congressman lives.
The speculation seems to affirm de Blasio’s comments last month when he said he might be stepping down after two divisive terms in office but he has no intention of abandoning personal political ambitions, as Breitbart News reported.
The Hill reports any such de Blasio move means a face off against former Democratic Rep. Max Rose (N.Y.) in what would likely be a contentious primary. Rose is vying for his old seat after losing to sitting Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R) in 2020.
