Nadler don't need no stinking office

Rep. Jerry Nadler has not yet opened an office in his newly redrawn 12th Congressional district — more than four months after besting rival Rep. Carolyn Maloney in a bruising August primary.

The only publicly listed office in the Big Apple on Nadler’s campaign website is 201 Varick St. in Greenwich Village. The grand Art Deco building, a landmark, was once Nadler territory when he represented the 10th district, but is now represented by his colleague Rep. Dan Goldman.

Nadler’s new district covers Midtown, the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side and cuts off around Union Square — well north of his Varick Street office. A map on Nadler’s congressional website shows a pin where his office is — well outside the contours of his current district.

“Jerry hasn’t represented his district fully for 15 or 20 years. He’s just basically riding it out until he passes away,” said Mike Zumbluskas, his GOP challenger in the 2022 election. “He’s been there too long, he’s too arrogant, and that’s why he’s not moving his office into the new district.”

Nadler’s no-show raises significant questions about how the longtime liberal will be able to provide services to the people he represents.
