The Congressional Hispanic Caucus's political arm is investing significant funds to support Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.) in his primary election. This move indicates concerns among Espaillat's allies regarding his competition from Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist candidate. A recent Data for Progress poll shows Avila Chevalier leading Espaillat 39% to 35%. The primary race in New York's 13th District has attracted considerable independent expenditures and media attention. Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.), chair of the CHC's BOLD PAC, confirmed that the group is heavily invested in Espaillat's reelection efforts, primarily routing funds through another PAC, BOLD America, which has spent over $2.5 million in the race. In contrast, Avila Chevalier's main supporter, the pro-Palestinian super PAC American Priorities, has reported spending $500,000. The campaign has become contentious, with Espaillat's team highlighting past social media posts from Avila Chevalier. Early voting in New York is set to begin on June 13, with primary day on June 23.
