The Staten Island Democrat Max Rose is officially plotting a comeback bid
The Staten Island Democrat is preparing to launch a rematch as soon as this fall against GOP Rep. Nicole Malliotakis — and Rose may get a leg up, given the seat will likely become far more favorable in redistricting. It’s a rare spot of optimism for House Democrats in the uphill battle to keep their majority.
“He's rocking and rolling,” said a source close to Rose who addressed the planned campaign on condition of anonymity. “He's been assembling a team, talking to donors, speaking with community leaders. He's been doing all the steps to line up to potentially make an announcement.” The new district will almost certainly include Staten Island but could trade its current piece of Brooklyn for a more liberal section. The 11th District currently includes a significant portion of white, blue-collar Brooklynites, who tend to vote more conservatively than the rest of the rapidly diversifying borough.
The Purple Heart recipient known for his populist politics and blunt style was elected in 2018. In office, Rose often relished going after his own party, opposing Nancy Pelosi as speaker and running highly critical ads against New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. In the past, Democrats on Staten Island have swung toward moderate politicians, like mayoral candidates Eric Adams and Kathryn Garcia.
