Conservative lawyer George Conway, a long-time critic of Donald Trump once married to the president's ex counselor, announced on Tuesday, Jan. 6 he is launching a Democratic campaign for Congress in Manhattan.
The declaration came on the five-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC.
"Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does," Conway said in a campaign video posted on social media about his bid to replace retiring New York Rep. Jerry Nadler. "It has to stop. We must make it stop. We have a corrupt president."
Conway, 62, would serve parts of New York City if elected to succeed Nadler, the influential ex-chairman of the House Judiciary Committee who currently represents New York's 12th Congressional District.
"I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home," the caption in Conway's announcement reads.
