Darializa Avila Chevalier secured the Democratic nomination for New York’s 13th congressional district in the June 2026 primary by defeating five-term incumbent Adriano Espaillat, an outcome driven by strong support from Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialists of America, and Justice Democrats. The district, encompassing Upper Manhattan and parts of the Northwest Bronx, has long favored Democratic candidates by wide margins in general elections. Jomo Williams, the Republican nominee, faces structural barriers in a seat rated Solid Democratic by multiple forecasters, with the party’s 2024 general-election margin exceeding 60 points. Trader consensus reflects the district’s partisan composition and low likelihood of a competitive November contest, though late developments such as candidate withdrawals, major scandals, or significant turnout shifts could theoretically alter the outcome.
