Story summary

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.
