Summary

Congressman Max Rose says he has no regrets. Elected in the 2018 blue wave, he flipped New York’s conservative-leaning 11th district, which includes all of Staten Island and a corner of Brooklyn.

Rose to get a candid perspective on what pundits are getting wrong and what, if anything, he’d do differently. You Might Also Like: From Red to Blue with Rep.
