TL;DR

Diana Moreno, a 38-year-old Ecuador-born immigrant and Democratic Socialists of America ally, won a special election to fill Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s NYC-area State Assembly seat, taking about 75% of the vote. She plans to push Albany to block local cooperation with federal immigration agents, align with Mamdani on child care and tenant protections, and aims to win a full term later this year. The result underscores Mamdani’s strategy of backing left-leaning candidates in key races.
