Port Chester resident to run against incumbent in re-shaped district.

Rye Town Supervisor and businessman is set this morning to announce that he's going to run for Congress against incumbent , D-Harrison.

Carvin, who last week got the backing of Larchmont Republican , who intended to run against Lowey but has found himself now in the district of U.S. Rep. Eliot Engel, D-Bronx, as a result of the judicially-ordered Congressional redistricting for the 2012 election. Rosen decided not to move to get back into Lowey's district, and he will not be challenging Engel.

Carvin, a Port Chester native, is set to announce his congressional race at 11 a.m. at Rye Town Hall.
