Darializa Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old Democratic Socialist, secured an overwhelming victory in New York's 13th Congressional District on November 7, 2026, with 87.5% of the vote over her Republican challenger Jomo Williams' 11.4%. Chevalier, endorsed by progressive Mayor Zohran Mamdani, represents a significant shift to the left in New York City politics. Alongside Brad Lander and Claire Valdez, she solidified a new generation of Democratic Socialists set to join the 120th Congress. However, Chevalier's extreme views on abolishing police and prisons have drawn criticism from both Republicans and some Democrats who see her election as a challenge for future House leadership.
A hard left socialist who wants to abolish police, prisons and protect migrant criminals from deportation has been elected to the House of Representatives.
Chevalier has also supported 'ending policing full stop', has called Joe Biden a 'rapist and war criminal', and believes it is 'unconstitutional' to deport illegal migrants convicted of committing crimes in the US.
Chevalier has attempted to walk back a number of her most extreme policy positions and past remarks, including saying in 2021 that she believed 'a world without borders, just like a world without prisons or police, is possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward.'
