Jerry Nadler will not seek re-election next year: NYT
July 02, 2025In a significant development for the political landscape of New York, Representative Jerrold Nadler (NY-12) announced his decision not to seek re-election in the upcoming 2026 cycle. The announcement comes amidst a flurry of legislative activity in Congress, including the recent reintroduction of the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act.
Nadler, a long-time advocate for marijuana reform, has been a key figure in pushing for federal decriminalization and expungement of prior marijuana convictions. His decision to retire follows decades of service in the House of Representatives, during which he has made notable contributions to various policy areas.
The MORE Act, reintroduced by Nadler along with Cannabis Caucus Co-Chairs Dina Titus (NV-01) and Ilhan Omar (MN-05), and House Committee on Small Business Ranking Member Nydia Velázquez (NY-07), aims to address the historical and continued injustices of failed drug policies. The bill seeks to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level, expunge prior convictions, and create new opportunities for individuals affected by the War on Drugs. The legislation also includes provisions for reinvesting in communities most adversely impacted by these policies.
The MORE Act has garnered support from a broad coalition of civil rights, criminal justice, drug policy, and immigration groups. These organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Drug Policy Alliance, and the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), have endorsed the bill, highlighting its potential to promote equity and justice.
Nadler's retirement will create a significant void in the House of Representatives, particularly for those advocating for marijuana reform. His departure also raises questions about the future of the MORE Act and other legislative priorities he has championed.
