Darializa Avila Chevalier holds a narrow edge over five-term incumbent Adriano Espaillat in the June 23 Democratic primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District, which covers parts of Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. A recent Data for Progress poll of likely primary voters showed Chevalier ahead 39-35, buoyed by an endorsement from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and her profile as a democratic socialist and Columbia University organizer. Espaillat has countered with attack ads highlighting past statements by his opponent, while both candidates participated in recent forums and debates. The tight trader consensus reflects the race’s competitiveness, with minor candidates polling near zero and no other major endorsements or shifts reported in the final weeks.
