## Resource

Early voting in NYC’s Democratic primary just wrapped up with over 136,000 ballots cast — and the race is heating up. Key battlegrounds include the 10th District, where incumbent Dan Goldman fights challenger Brad Lander despite Governor Hochul’s backing; the 13th District, where Adriano Espaillat clashes with Darializa Avila Chevalier over Super PACs and immigration; and the 7th District, where socialist Claire Valdez faces Brooklyn’s Antonio Reynoso to replace Nydia Velázquez. Manhattan led with over 55K votes, followed by Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Mayor Eric Adams voted in and rallied behind his endorsed candidates — and the race isn’t over yet.
