Chelsea Clinton being groomed to run for Congress

New York Post – by Emily Smith

While some pundits are declaring the Clinton political dynasty dead, sources tell us that it is far from over. Chelsea Clinton is being groomed for the New York seat held by Rep. Nita Lowey.

Chelsea could run for the seat in NYC’s 17th Congressional District once Lowey, a 79-year-old respected career politician with nearly 30 years in office, decides to retire, we have exclusively learned.  

Lowey’s district includes parts of Rockland and Westchester counties and, conveniently, Chappaqua, the Clinton family home base.

In August, Hillary and Bill Clinton purchased a home next door to their primary residence in Chappaqua for $1.16 million, which is intended for Chelsea, her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, and their two children, Charlotte and Aidan.

While Chelsea currently lives, and is registered to vote, in Manhattan, she could easily make Chappaqua her legal residence in order to run for Lowey’s seat when it becomes vacant.

A source told us, “While it is true the Clintons need some time to regroup after Hillary’s crushing loss, they will not give up. Chelsea would be the next extension of the Clinton brand. In the past few years, she has taken a very visible role in the Clinton Foundation and on the campaign trail. While politics isn’t the life Hillary wanted for Chelsea, she chose to go on the campaign trail for her mother and has turned out to be very poised, articulate and comfortable with the visibility.”

The source continued, “There has been a lot of speculation within New York Democratic circles about Lowey’s retirement and Chelsea running for the seat. There is a belief that Chappaqua is a logical place for Chelsea to run, because it would be straightforward for her to raise money and build a powerful base.”

A spokesperson for Lowey — who is serving her 14th term in Congress and was first elected to the US House of Representatives in 1988 — declined to comment. A spokesperson for Chelsea didn’t get back to us.

  1. Well as long as she’s being groomed, give her a flea bath, too.

    People are obviously tired of the Clintons, and a mug that can scare a baboon just doesn’t work on campaign posters.

    I’m predicting a quick end to her short-lived political career before it even gets started.

  2. Not to mention, she has nothing, brings nothing but a legacy of criminal activity and corruption. She is butt ugly, is a spoiled brat by all accounts, not intelligent, a communist, a poor speaker, and on and on. Who thought this was a good idea?

  3. Well I guess if Hitlery can’t be the first woman president then she will sure as hell try and make her daughter be it. Gotta keep it all in the family, right? What’s next? Barry’s wife and daughters? Of course!

    Same shit different day.
