New York State Speaker Yuh-Line Niou (D) announced on Saturday that he would run in the state’s 10th congressional district in an attempt to replace Jerry Nadler (DN.Y.), whose address has been moved to another area of the Chamber by redirection.
Niu made the announcement in New York’s Chinatown, boasting of his “reputation as the most effective progressive MP in the Assembly” and planning to boost the region’s economy.
She will face former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio (D), who announced his candidacy to represent the district on Friday, and Mondeir Jones (DN.Y.), who currently represents the 17th Congress of New York. The New York District, however, said it would run in its 10th Congressional District after a judge approved a new congressional map of the state late Friday.
Nadler announced this week that she will challenge Representative Carolyn Maloney (DN.Y.) to serve in the 12th District of New York. He confirmed that he will run in the area on Saturday after news of the approved card.
“In this fight, it is not enough to elect more Democrats if they do not want to create big problems. We must choose the right Democrats. “We need to choose Democrats who are ready to work and fight hard every day to make our democracy truly for all and to build the better America you deserve,” Niu said in a statement.

Niu, who says she will be “a bold and inexcusable progressive voice for our communities,” was the first Asian American to represent Chinatown in the New York Assembly.
She was first elected to the 65th District of the New York Assembly in 2016. Last year, she took part in a 15-day hunger strike organized by the New York Taxi Workers’ Alliance for a campaign to ease the debt of taxi drivers.
“I am running to hold people responsible who are manipulating our economy, destroying our climate, making money during a pandemic and welcoming the rise in white violence like we saw in Buffalo,” Niu said in a statement. “We will not do this with the same approach, agree, supported by the same initiative, understand politicians. Our loved ones, our neighbors and our families deserve more than that. You deserve better than that. ”
