A Kennedy, a Protege and a Progressive Star Eye Nadler's N.Y. House Seat.

Representative Jerrold Nadler’s departure is still 16 months away, but Democrats are already testing the waters in what is expected to be a highly contested race.

Some possibilities included Lina Khan, the former Federal Trade Commission chair and a young progressive favorite; Jack Schlossberg, a Kennedy in his 30s; and even former Representative Carolyn B. Maloney, Mr. Nadler’s contemporary who lost her seat in a redistricting showdown three years ago.

***“It’s kind of unbelievable,” said Ken Sunshine, a public relations executive and longtime friend of Mr. Nadler, who called the district “a crown jewel.”

“Think of who lives in this district, from the Village to Chelsea, up the West Side to much of the East Side,” he said. “Think of the level of intellect, accomplishment, money, the creative arts.”>>>
