Outgoing Congressman Max Rose sets his sights on NYC mayor’s race

NEW YORK — Congressman Max Rose, D-N.Y, who recently lost a bruising battle for reelection, is poised to enter the packed race for mayor of New York City.

He filed a mayoral campaign committee with the city Campaign Finance Board on Thursday evening.

Last month, the Democratic U.S. Army combat veteran lost his bid for reelection to Republican New York Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis after just one term representing N.Y.’s 11th congressional district, a conservative swath of Staten Island and Brooklyn.

Candidates in the June Democratic primary for mayor include Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, former Citigroup executive Ray McGuire, City Councilman Carlos Menchaca, ex-Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia, former nonprofit CEO Dianne Morales, Comptroller Scott Stringer, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s former, veterans affairs commissioner, Loree Sutton, and ex-de Blasio legal adviser Maya Wiley.
