To Brooklyn and back: Mondaire Jones gave up quickly on his new home
July 9, 2023
When freshman Congressman Mondaire Jones had his Rockland/Westchester district scrambled last May, he moved to Carroll Gardens to run in a Lower Manhattan/Brooklyn constituency. He wrote an op-ed in these pages declaring his affinity for the area.
When we interviewed him last summer, he said that win or lose the Aug. 23 primary, he was in Brooklyn to stay. After coming in third with 18%, he soon decamped back to Westchester. Now he’s running from there. Politics by moving van.
