29. No, she can remain in Congress while she runs

However, whether she can run for Congress AND for Governor on the same ballot depends on the state. I could not find the rules for New York. I know it differs by state.

If she can run for both, I would imagine it could make for a complicated congressional run as that could be used against her especially in the primaries of both.

If she was not so thoroughly dislikable, you could almost feel sorry for her.
