Shinkle Targets NYC 12th Seat, Blasting Mamdani on Crime and Cost of Living Ahead of June 23

Caroline Shinkle, the only Republican in New York’s 12th District race, said she is running to flip the deep-blue Manhattan seat by attacking Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s record on crime, taxes and living costs.
Shinkle argued Mamdani’s “tax the rich” agenda is driving businesses and wealthy residents out of the city, citing backlash from Citadel’s Ken Griffin and Goldman Sachs’ expansion elsewhere.
Public safety is central to her pitch: Shinkle said voters want to use subways, walk at night and participate in the economy without fear, blaming Democrats for “pro-criminal” policies.
The race will fill the seat of retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler, with Democratic voters choosing among George Conway, Jack Schlossberg, Micah Lasher and Alex Bores in the June 23 primary.
Her long-shot bid comes as Republicans try to protect their razor-thin House majority by competing even in one of the country’s bluest congressional districts.
