Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway finished 5th behind a nationally unknown candidate in Tuesday’s primary.
Conway lost his congressional bid in New York’s 12th district with 6.1% of the vote, while Nina Schwalbe secured 7.1% and finished 4th. Democratic New York state Rep. Micah Lasher defeated Democratic New York state Rep. Alex Bores in a competitive matchup, making him the likely candidate to replace Democratic New York Rep. Jerry Nadler in November’s general election.
Schwalbe, who holds a PhD in public health, centered her campaign around lowering drug costs, according to her campaign website. Her website touted how she “secured recognition of same-sex couples” while working for the United Nations and delivered hundreds of millions of vaccines during former President Joe Biden’s administration.
Conway founded the Lincoln Project, a political action committee (PAC) consisting of anti-Trump conservatives and former Republicans. He centered his failed campaign on removing President Donald Trump, from office and “defeating Trumpism.” In October 2025, he wore a shirt stating, “I am Antifa.”
The Lincoln Project co-founder frequently railed against Trump during appearances on MS NOW and CNN. He shed tears when discussing Trump on a podcast in April 2025.
“We’re all in this together and this is a fight for so much more than profits for partner, this is a fight for democracy, this is a fight for the rule of law. And some people just don’t give a shit and that makes me angry,” Conway said with tears in his eyes.
