Bernie Sanders to Back Progressive Slate in New York House Primaries

Bernie Sanders to Back Progressive Slate in New York House Primaries

The rally will feature Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, and Brad Lander, three insurgents currently locked in high-stakes primary battles. Valdez is competing for an open seat in the 7th Congressional District, where polling indicates a dead heat with Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso. Avila Chevalier faces a formidable challenge against five-term incumbent Representative Adriano Espaillat in the 13th District.

Brad Lander, meanwhile, is mounting a significant challenge to Representative Dan Goldman in the 10th District. Emerson College data released late last month suggests Lander holds a substantial lead of more than 20 points over the incumbent. These contests represent a broader effort to reshape the Democratic Party, with Mamdani framing the candidacies as a direct response to the influence of big money in national politics.
