NY-17: Democrat Alessandra Biaggi to challenge Sean Patrick Maloney in primary.

“Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney’s (D-NY) decision last week to leave behind his current congressional district to campaign for a colleague’s safer seat infuriated fellow Democrats, who saw the actions as unacceptable for the man tasked with protecting their House majority,” the New York Times reports.

“On Monday, a progressive New York lawmaker, Alessandra Biaggi (D), said she would try to stand in his way, channeling the ire of the party’s left wing at the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.”

Biaggi called Maloney “a selfish corporate Democrat.

Snip
Liberal Bronx Democratic state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi — a champion of “defunding” the police, who once called cops “soulless” —.

Biaggi’s anti-police funding tweets — many of which were scrubbed from her Twitter account but were captured in screen grabs — could haunt her in a (Congressional) district where many moderate Democrats support law enforcement.

pfffft.
