Congressman Max Rose, the Staten Island Democrat who lost his bid for reelection last month, is considering a run for New York mayor.
In November, Rose lost his seat as U.S. representative for New York’s 11th congressional district, which covers Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn, to Republican Nicole Malliotakis. The race was closely watched as one of several districts where Democrats had flipped historically Republican seats in 2018.
Rose, a Jewish Army veteran, would be entering a crowded mayoral field and face an uphill battle trying to build a political base in conservative Staten Island to win a Democratic primary.
