Gov. Hochul has endorsed Assemblyman Micah Lasher in the Democratic primary for New York's 12th congressional district, set to replace retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler. The winner of the June 23 primary is expected to win in the general election, with only nominal Republican opposition expected. Lasher, a former aide to both Hochuls and Nadler, is up against a strong field that includes fellow Assemblyman Alex Bores, Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg, and anti-Trump pundit George Conway.
