Rumors of Chelsea Clinton, 39, being groomed for New York's 17th Congressional District, the district that represents Rockland County and part of Westchester County, have long been circulating.
Rockland/Westchester Journal NewsThe internet was abuzz with speculation this week on whether Chelsea Clinton would throw her hat in the political ring after longtime Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., announced Thursday that she would not seek re-election in 2020.
In an interview with The Journal News/lohud.com last year, Chelsea Clinton said she would consider a political run under certain circumstances. “If you care about what’s happening in the world, you have to care about running for and holding elected office,” she said. “I hope it’s a question that we ask ourselves.”Chelsea Clinton's spokeswoman did not respond to an email this week about her plans, but whether she'll run is a question many are asking.
Members of the House of Representatives are not required to live in the district they represent; they are required to be at least 25 years old, have been a U.S. citizen for at least seven years, and live in the state they represent.
