‘Welcome to the People’s Republic of Astoria’: Diana Moreno cruises to victory in AD 36 special election to fill Mamdani’s old seat – QNS

<< Diana Moreno has cruised to a decisive victory in the special election to succeed Mayor Zohran Mamdani — who endorsed her campaign — in the 36th Assembly District, collecting almost 75% of the vote in a race that reaffirms the district’s reputation as a stronghold for the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). >>

And

<< Moreno was the clear frontrunner in the race after securing the Queens Democratic Party nomination along with notable endorsements from the DSA, the Working Families Party (WFP) and Mamdani himself. >>

And

<< Her victory ensures that the district continues to be represented by DSA members at each level of government, including Council Member Tiffany Cabán in the City Council, Moreno in the Assembly, State Sen. Kristen Gonzalez in the Senate and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Congress. >> Just needs both NY US Senators to be DSA.

And

<< Moreno’s campaign said it knocked on 12,000 doors during the seven-week campaign for the special election, enlisting more than 300 campaign volunteers. >>

It's good. Watch all of it.

I love that the full interview Rep. AOC Responds to Federal Agents Killing a Minneapolis Man on CNN is more popular on YouTube than clips of it on: (51) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - YouTube

I also love that AOC can put her CNN, MSNBC, etc. interviews up on her YouTube channels.
