George Conway Officially Running For Congress Months After Coming Out As Antifa

Prominent anti-Trump lawyer George Conway filed to run for Congress in New York City on Monday.

Conway, who lives in Bethesda, Md., an affluent Washington, D.C. suburb, will vie in a crowded Democratic primary to represent a deep-blue Manhattan district to succeed Democratic New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, who is retiring. The vocal Trump critic is likely to frame his congressional run around his top attorney credentials and willingness to serve as legal pitbull against Trump in Congress.

Conway, 62, is a mainstay in left-wing media and frequently rails against Trump on a podcast published by The Bulwark with the title “George Conway Explains It All,” which he co-hosts. He notably wore a shirt bearing the words “I am Antifa” at a “No Kings” rally in October, the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation first reported.

Conway was reportedly hunting for a Manhattan apartment in November while mulling a congressional run, which could feed “carpetbagger” attacks.

The race for the central Manhattan district — including Central Park, Times Square and the Rockefeller Center — has attracted roughly a dozen candidates in the Democratic primary. The primary election date is set for June 2026.
