Who is my U.S. representative in NY-12?
Your current representative for NY-12 is Jerry Nadler (D), who has represented the district (Manhattan's Upper West Side, Upper East Side, and Midtown) since the 1990s. Nadler is not running for re-election in 2026, though — he announced his retirement in September 2025. Wikipedia Wikipedia For the seat he's vacating, Assemblymember Micah Lasher won the Democratic primary on June 23, 2026, defeating candidates including Alex Bores, Jack Schlossberg, George Conway, and Nina Schwalbe. Given the district's heavy Democratic lean, it's rated D+33, Lasher would be considered the strong favorite heading into the November 3, 2026 general election, though nothing is official until voters decide. Spectrum News NY1 + 2 So to summarize: Right now: Jerry Nadler (D) is still your sitting representative until his term ends. After the November 2026 election: Micah Lasher (D) is the Democratic nominee and likely next representative, pending the general election result.
