Rose will not run for mayor, he announced. Offi ce of Congressman Max Rose

COURIER LIFE, JANUARY 8-14, 2021 3
BY ROSE ADAMS
Outgoing southern Brooklyn
Congressman Max Rose
announced on Sunday that he
will not run for mayor in the
2021 election cycle.
“Representing New York’s
11th Congressional District
has been an incredible honor
and privilege,” Rose wrote in
a Twitter post. “While I won’t
be a candidate for mayor this
cycle, I am not going anywhere
in the fi ght to make
our city and country live up
to their promise.”
The announcement comes
weeks after the recently-defeated
congressman fi led with
the Campaign Finance Board
on Dec. 10 to jump into the
crowded mayoral race. Rose
told the New York Times that
he was “exploring a bid,” but
did not make his candidacy
offi cial.
A Park Slope native and
Army veteran, Rose was
elected to represent a swath
of southern Brooklyn and
Staten Island in the House of
Representatives in 2018. The
district — which encompasses
Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights,
and Bath Beach, as well as
parts of Gravesend and Bensonhurst
— is the most conservative
area in the city, having
voted overwhelmingly for
President Donald Trump in
2016 and 2020.
In his two-year term, Rose
focused on bipartisan legislation
and distanced himself
from many of his left-leaning
peers, such as Congresswoman
Alexandria Ocasio-
Cortez. But Rose’s centrist
positioning failed to save
him in his November reelection
bid, which he lost to Republican
Assemblywoman
Nicole Malliotakis during a
no-holds-barred race full of
blistering attack ads.
Rose did not explain why
he declined to enter the mayoral
race, or what his political
future might look like, but
said that he plans to spend
more time with his family.
“My son Miles just learned
how to crawl and is getting
awfully good at standing on
his own,” he wrote on Twitter.
“So wish Leigh and I luck
in 2021 because, at this rate,
Miles will be walking in no
time — and God willing, we
will adopt another beautiful
baby into our family.”
Rose’s withdrawal from
the race hardly narrows the
more-than-30-candidate fi eld
for the mayorship, which includes
Borough President
Eric Adams, former de Blasio
staffer Maya Wiley, former
Sanitation Commissioner
Kathryn Garcia, Comptroller
Scott Stringer, non-profi t
executive Dianne Morales,
CitiGroup executive Ray
McGuire, and potentially, US
presidential candidate Andrew
Yang.

DRX9000TM
RELIEVES BACK PAIN
Surgeons perform an estimated 300,000 to 400,000
back surgeries every year. Annually, neurosurgeons
perform at least 100,000 operations for lumbar disc
disease alone, and orthopedic surgeons perform a
similar number. It is estimated that between 20% and
40% of these operations are unsuccessful.
That is why doctors from all over the country
are racing to acquire and get trained to operate the
DRX9000TM, an FDA approved device that is saving
thousands of Americans suffering from chronic back
pain from going under the knife.
Dr. Melinda Keller, who treats serious back
pain without surgery explains how the DRX9000TM
works... “Over 10 years ago, NASA began to notice
an unexpected result of space travel: Astronauts that
left with back pain would come back without it. After
investigated this now phenomenon here’s what they
found: During the anti-gravity state of the mission there
were decompressive forces on the intervertebral discs
and back pain was relieved. How? When you travel
through space, the effects of gravity are removed
and you are in a weightless state. All the pressure is
taken off your spine and discs. Even better — and
this is the key — a negative pressure is created. This
negative pressure actually sucks the herniated material
back into the disc and allows it to heal. Thanks to the
DRX9000TM, disc herniation sufferers finally have a
non-surgical solution.”
The main conditions the DRX9000TM has documented
success with are back pain, sciatica, herniated
and/or bulging discs (single or multiple), degenerative
disc disease, facet syndromes and a relapse or failure
following back surgery.
Anyone wishing to learn more about this new
FDA approved solution to back pain or to set up an
appointment for a free consultation call Dr. Keller’s
office at 718 234-6212 or visit Brooklyn Spine
Center, 5911 16th Ave., Brooklyn, New York 11204.
