"Senator Bernie Sanders endorsed Assembly Member Claire Valdez on Thursday in the Democratic primary for New York's 7th Congressional District, giving Mayor Zohran Mamdani's preferred candidate a major boost in the race to succeed retiring U.S. Rep. Nydia Velazquez."
"Valdez already has backing from the United Auto Workers and the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, of which she is a member. She has also benefited from her partnership with Mamdani, who not only endorsed her early but also publicly appeared with her."
"In the race to represent the heavily progressive district spanning western Queens and north Brooklyn, Reynoso has lined up support from Velazquez, Rep. Pat Ryan, Rep. Jerry Nadler, Attorney General Letitia James, the Working Families Party, and others."
