Sean Patrick Maloney in the Aug. 23 Democratic primary for the 17th District: He\u2019s the most arrogant, self-serving incumbent in all New York.<\/p>\n<p>His most recent low was to not even notify another incumbent, Rep. Mondaire Jones, before declaring he\u2019d run in the district that the new, fair electoral maps (required after the courts nixed Democrats\u2019 bid to gerrymander Republicans into insignificance) put them both in, even though the new district had more of Jones\u2019 old one than it did Maloney\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, Maloney played a big role in that misbegotten gerrymander effort that so backfired for Dems, putting not just Jones and Maloney in conflict, but also senior Reps. Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney.<\/p>\n<p>Way back on Nov. 30, 2020, he told Politico, \u201cWe must win the redistricting war,\u201d as he prepared to take over the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. And he plainly encouraged the Legislature to try to do just that, as its plan was to cut Republicans down to just four House seats in New York from the eight or so any fair map would allow.<\/p>\n<p>That gambit was a blatant violation of the state Constitution\u2019s rules for redistricting, and of the clearly expressed views of most New Yorkers in multiple ballot-measure votes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/biaggi.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"State Sen.
