A New York City congressional race that already includes former Mayor Bill de Blasio is getting more crowded with Hudson Valley Rep. Mondaire Jones announcing Saturday that he’s also running for the seat.
Shortly after the final congressional district maps were released to the public early Saturday morning, Jones surprised many by tweeting:
