The DNC congratulates Micah Lasher on his victory in the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th Congressional District — a race that will help bolster Democrats’ momentum as they retake the House in November. Democratic voters throughout New York City turned out to back candidates like Lasher who are focused on lowering costs, protecting healthcare, raising the minimum wage, and delivering for New York working families.
In response to Micah Lasher’s victory, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Micah Lasher is a proven public servant who has devoted his life to serving New Yorkers. Throughout his career, he has put policy ideas into law, helping advance major gun safety measures, protections for abortion providers and patients, affordable housing initiatives, a minimum wage increase, and investments in mental health care. In Congress, Lasher will put families first, fight for safer communities, and stand up for an economy that works for everyone. The DNC is ready to help organize and mobilize voters to elect Lasher and ensure New York’s 12th Congressional District has a leader who will always stand up for them.”
