Micah Lasher defeated Jack Schlossberg in a crowded Democratic primary for an open Manhattan congressional seat. The race drew heavy spending and became a proxy fight over artificial-intelligence regulation.
New York state Assembly Member Micah Lasher defeated Jack Schlossberg, a grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, in the Democratic primary for an open Manhattan congressional seat. Lasher, who worked for longtime Rep. Jerry Nadler, said in his victory speech that he wanted to renew the Democratic Party and deliver ideas to help struggling Americans. Schlossberg urged Democrats to offer more responsive candidates and speak plainly about issues including the cost of living and corruption.
The contest also became an expensive fight involving technology and artificial-intelligence interests. Some companies opposed Alex Bores, a former technology-company engineer and state Assembly member who wrote legislation opposed by industry; other AI interests tried to help him. Bores said in his concession speech that powerful industry figures had made the race an unprecedented fight. The article also reports that former Rep. Carolyn Maloney endorsed Bores and Nadler endorsed Lasher.
