Mamdani endorses DSA ally in race for Brooklyn-Queens congressional seat

OMG , I'm like totally stoked about Claire Valdez's chances of winning this congressional seat! She's got the whole progressive vibe going on with those major union endorsements from Shawn Fain and Mayor Zohran Mamdani . It's like she's got the support of the labor movement behind her, which is huge in Brooklyn and Queens. And I gotta say, Valdez's background as a state assemblymember from Queens is pretty impressive . She's got that community know-how going on, you know? Plus, she's talking about Medicare for All and making it easier for workers to unionize - those are some solid policy stances if you ask me . Now, I'm not saying Antonio Reynoso isn't a strong candidate or anything, but Valdez is definitely looking like the underdog who could pull off a major upset . Fingers crossed for her!

I'm a bit concerned about this election, you know? I mean, who's behind all these big names supporting Claire Valdez? It seems like some pretty influential folks are putting their weight behind her, and that can be scary for democracy . On one hand, it's awesome to see labor unions backing someone who cares about workers' rights – I really believe in the importance of fair wages and unionization.

But on the other hand, it feels like there might be some pressure to do things a certain way if you want to win. With Antonio Reynoso having deep ties to the Democratic establishment, it's hard not to wonder if that's gonna affect the outcome of the primary . I just hope Valdez stays true to her values and doesn't get lost in all the hype .

What do you guys think? Am I being paranoid or is this something we should be worried about?
