.@Shamsul4Queens is only down by 2 votes as of today and I expect that margin will be reduced to 1 shortly. Manual recount will be noticed by the BOE for a date next week. We will count every vote and we are ready to leave no stone unturned. ✊🏽⚖️🗳️ #QueensGetTheVotes
Denver 5pm Drop Update!
Melat winning by 13.32%!!!! DeGette under 40%!!
If you include Wanda's 7% as a "no on DeGette" this is a complete and under embarrassment for DeGette, being trounced by 20% basically.
Insane! Melat Kiros and DSA has a MANDATE
@Info_Cntrl Yeah if he tried to challenge DAC and flops that would be a perfect way to end the Wright dynasty and also have Blackburn clean up in an open race for the AD
It seems very doable for Blackburn to run it back and win this in 2028, especially if Wright may try to ladder climb to higher office and vacate the seat.
The one DSA candidate to lose in New York City last week was Conrad Blackburn in #AD70. Blackburn lost to incumbent Jordan Wright (the son of the Manhattan Dems President) by 8 in this Harlem district.
Blackburn was heavily attacked for interning for Pam Bondi in his early life.
Yesterday, Colorado chose two immigrant stories to carry its banner forward: Phil Weiser and Melat Kiros.
Phil's mother was born in the Buchenwald concentration camp on April 13, 1945. One day after her birth, the camp was liberated by the U.S. Army. Within a single generation, her son would become Colorado's Attorney General, and now our nominee for Governor.
Melat was born in Ethiopia and came to Denver as a baby, her parents arriving with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They built a life here. They chased the American dream and caught it. Yesterday, they watched their daughter win her race for Congress.
Immigrants make America great, and Colorado knows they make great leaders too. Proud to have supported them both.
Just checking into something 🤔
Would Calderon be a good candidate to run again to challenge Johnston in 2027? Any Denver or CO followers/mutuals definitely chime in with whatever insight you may have!
Zohran's campaign was not as positive as people seem to remember. He was absolutely ruthless.
He cut an ad attempting to link Andrew Cuomo to Jeffrey Epstein!
Scoop: Zohran Mamdani to deliver a "major" speech Friday marking America 250, hours before Trump gives his own commemorative address in S.D.
Mamdani will speak from George Washington's desk at City Hall and be surrounded by recently naturalized citizens

City and State NY: Darializa Avila Chevalier is dating Mamdani’s lawyer Ramzi Kassem
The congressional primary winner and the mayor’s top legal adviser have been quietly dating since 2023.
The couple first met in 2019, while Avila Chevalier was doing immigrant defense organizing with Families of Freedom. Kassem was also involved in that work through CLEAR, a legal clinic he founded at the City University of New York. Avila Chevalier later enrolled at the CUNY Graduate Center as a doctoral student in sociology.

DeGette and Kiros's ads.
DeGette barely goes direct to camera and mainly relies on stock images.
Kiros though, is in the middle of a bunch of people (talarico-esque) and nails her issue battery in one take. Really important distinctions in a generational change race.
