Rep. Jerry Nadler Touts Record in NY1 Debate as Challengers Demand New Leadership

NY 1

In a NY1 debate, House Member Jerry Nadler faced two Democratic challengers urging bold new leadership in the district to meet demands for lasting reform in the country.

“He writes strongly worded letters and gives empty talk. This is not the time for any of that. This is the time for people with guts," Lindsey Boylan said.

“We have to dismantle systemic racism and provide for real, substantive, structural reform. There’s no more time for lip service and no more time for cheap talk,” Jonathan Herzog said.

Nadler seeks re-election to his Manhattan and Brooklyn seat as health, economic, and racial crises inflame the city and country.

Nadler was a House Manager, but recall that all the Impeachment Hearings and major Senate speeches were handled by Schiff. I don't recall Nadler having any significant roll.

And to be honest, not every voter is driven by Impeachment. Economic and social issues have a lot of value these days.
