Democratic socialists rack up wins in New York state legislature races 

Democratic socialists racked up wins in New York state legislature primary elections on Tuesday with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) sparking the blue wave with his political endorsements.

Democratic socialists achieved victory in two state Senate races and four state Assembly races, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ), despite millions of dollars spent by super PACs aimed against them. 

Aber Kawas, a Palestinian-American, triumphed in the state Senate Democratic primary for District 12, while state Sen. Jabari Brisport (D) secured more than 78 percent of the vote to win another term for his seat in District 25, with the GOP primary in that district canceled.

Democratic socialist candidate Jessica González-Rojas is leading her primary in District 13, according to DDHQ, although the results have not yet been finalized. 

“Together, we can build a future that centers working families and creates real results for our neighborhoods,” González-Rojas said in a statement, according to City and State NY.
