Lasher, Nadler's Protg, Says He Is Running to Succeed His Mentor Micah Lasher, a state lawmaker, enters what is expect

Micah Lasher, a state lawmaker, enters what is expected to be a crowded Democratic field competing for Representative Jerrold Nadler’s congressional seat in Manhattan.

But he said his top priority would be fighting what he called the Trump administration’s assault on the Constitution, democratic norms and vital public programs.

“I think the fundamental question facing Congress today is: How do we muster every ounce of power we can to stop the Trump regime and their reactionary program?” Mr. Lasher, 43, said in an interview.
