Sean Patrick Maloney announced Monday that he would be seeking re-election in New York\u2019s 17th Congressional District, after a court-ordered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/proposed-new-york-congressional-maps-set-up-primary-battlegrounds-for-high-profile-democrats\">special master<\/a> published a draft set of maps for New York\u2019s House delegation. The special master\u2019s maps were the result of a ruling from the New York State Court of Appeals, which ruled that the state legislature\u2019s maps for Congress and the State Senate were partisan gerrymanders in violation of the state constitution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the process to draw these maps without the legislature is against the will of voters, if the newly-announced maps are finalized, I will run in New York\u2019s 17th Congressional District. NY-17 includes my home and many of the Hudson Valley communities I currently represent,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/spmaloney\/status\/1526234262185336832\">Maloney<\/a> tweeted Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurther, I believe I am the only sitting member who resides in NY17,\u201d Maloney <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/spmaloney\/status\/1526239795625742338\">added<\/a> in another tweet.<\/p>\n<p>As the Cook Political Report\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Redistrict\/status\/1526927597514502144\">Dave Wasserman<\/a> noted Wednesday, Maloney would be moving from his current district, NY-18. Under the new maps, Maloney\u2019s district would be considered vulnerable in the current political environment, since the district voted for Joe Biden by just five points in 2020. But a recent internal poll from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has shown that Republicans lead in the generic ballot by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/panic-even-dems-internal-polling-shows-huge-swing-for-house-gop-in-2022\">8 points<\/a> in competitive districts, and another poll by the Republican Super PAC Congressional Leadership Fund found that \u201cBiden +8 districts are now tossups,\u201d as The Daily Wire reported. Instead, Maloney would be moving to a safer Biden +10 district. However, in doing so, Maloney, who is the chairman of the DCCC, would be running in a primary against freshman progressive Rep. Mondaire Jones, who currently represents the 17th district.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/news\/house\/3493288-eying-new-house-district-dem-campaign-chair-faces-backlash\/\">The Hill<\/a>, Jones would still represent an overwhelming majority of the current district under the new maps. But Wasserman noted Monday that Jones technically lives in the new 16th district. As such, should the new maps be adopted, Jones would be caught in the rock-and-a-hard-place position of having to run against Maloney in the district he mostly represents, or having to run in NY-16 against Jamaal Bowman, another black progressive and fellow member of the Congressional Black Caucus. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/05\/17\/maloney-dccc-jones-new-york-00033277\">Politico<\/a> notes that a number of Democrats have raised the issue privately, going so far as to push for Maloney to be ousted from his position as chair of the DCCC.<\/p>\n<p>Jones lashed out at Maloney Monday. \u201cSean Patrick Maloney did not even give me a heads up before he went on Twitter to make that announcement,\u201d he said, via Politico\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/allymutnick\/status\/1526341346751021056\">Ally Mutnick<\/a>. \u201cAnd I think that tells you everything you need know about Sean Patrick Maloney.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones\u2019 colleague <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RitchieTorres\/status\/1526947497565990912\">Ritchie Torres<\/a>, who represents the nearby 15th Congressional District, and along with Jones is one of two black gay members of Congress, also criticized Maloney for attempting to push Jones out of his district. \u201cThe thinly veiled racism here is profoundly disappointing,\u201d Torres tweeted Wednesday. \u201cA black man is ideologically ill suited to represent a Westchester County District that he represents presently and won decisively in 2020? Outrageous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a simple solution here,\u201d Torres added. \u201cMaloney should run in NY-18, which he mostly represents. Jones in NY-17, which he mostly represents Bowman in NY-16, which he mostly represents. Problem solved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Democrats in the state of New York are in disarray, attacking each other over a likely primary showdown between two high-profile progressive Congressmen.Rep.
