A Manhattan and Brooklyn Congressional district with no incumbent is turning into a campaign free-for-all.
Jones did not return a call seeking comment and his chief of staff, Zach Fisch, declined to answer questions Friday afternoon, several hours before the final maps of the new Congressional lines were expected to be released.
Smalls said she had “no intention of running” until a special master tasked with drawing New York’s congressional lines released draft plans Monday, “and it included my apartment.”Jarrod Bernstein, a former aide to Mayor Mike Bloomberg who worked with Smalls in the Obama White House, called her a “formidable candidate in the NY10 [who] knows how to put together a coalition and really connect with Democratic primary voters of all demographics.
De Blasio — who had been grappling with what to do after two terms as mayor — said in the interview that he is energized by the race.
