Hilton security chased down Rep. Nydia Velázquez as she was meeting with BK Dems reformer Julio Peña - since only hotel guests are allowed by the pool, not Somos conference-goers.
Don’t they know she’s the first Puerto Rican woman in Congress?
“I don’t use that here!” She laughs.

Following her election win tonight, Hudson Valley Assembly Member Sarahana Shrestha called for more public transit in the Hudson Valley that could be funded by increased taxes on the ultra wealthy.

We need high speed rail.”

Tons of excitement in southern Brooklyn as Larry He, chief of staff of Assembly Member William Colton, declares victory against Republican state Sen. Steve Chan.

“We just cleaned house. For all those naysayers who are always critiquing Brooklyn Dems, we have something for them,” a jubilant Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn says of the four Dems in southern Brooklyn who appear to have won their state legislative races. “We move forward.”
New: You might not know it watching the fractious Brooklyn Democratic Party wage war with itself, but the election looms just around the corner, bringing with it the opportunity for Dems to reclaim four state legislative seats in southern Brooklyn.

In NYC, the Early Vote will drop at ~9:05pm
In 2022, Hochul led Zeldin in EV ~381K votes (74.84%) to ~127K votes (24.98%).
They finished 69.68% to 30.15% in NYC.
Tonight, if Hochul wins 80%+ of the NYC EV, the race is callable immediately IMO.
