Broadway Democrats back Espaillat in NY-13 after Hamas comments controversy
TL;DR Summary
A Manhattan left-wing club, the Broadway Democrats, endorsed Rep. Adriano Espaillat over Darializa Avila Chevalier in New York’s 13th Congressional District primary, citing Chevalier’s refusal to condemn Hamas and the Oct. 7 attacks. Chevalier had the backing of Mamdani earlier in the cycle and counted groups like the DSA, Sunrise Movement, Track AIPAC, CAIR Action, and Jewish Voice for Peace Action among her supporters. The June 23 primary will determine the Democratic nominee for the district that includes Upper Manhattan and parts of the Bronx.
