George Conway

About

George Thomas Conway III (born September 2, 1963) is an American lawyer and activist. He argued and won the 2010 case Morrison v. National Australia Bank before the Supreme Court of the United States.
Conway was considered by President Donald Trump for appointment to two positions in the United States Department of Justice—Solicitor General of the United States and Assistant Attorney General heading the Civil Division—but Conway withdrew himself from consideration. In 2018, Conway emerged as a vocal Trump critic while his wife, Kellyanne Conway, worked for Trump from 2016 to 2020. During the 2020 presidential election, Conway was involved with the Lincoln Project, a coalition of former Republicans dedicated to defeating Trump.
He ran in the 2026 Democratic primary to represent New York’s 12th district in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he lost the nomination to New York State Assembly member Micah Lasher.

George Conway’s father, an electrical engineer, worked for defense contractor Raytheon. His mother was an organic chemist from the Philippines.
