Zohran Mamdani is clashing with left allies by opposing Brad Lander's inclusion, signaling support for Lander over DSA-backed Alexa Avilés.
Avilés is currently working to secure the support of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, according to a DSA member, who said Avilés would likely only run if she receives the organization's endorsement. NYC-DSA's Electoral Working Group has scheduled an initial endorsement forum next Wednesday to give Avilés a chance to make a case for her candidacy. Avilés declined to comment on her plans.
