Hispanic Caucus spending "heavily" to save its chair from Mamdani-backed challenger

AxiosIndependentCenter9 days ago

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus' political action committee is heavily funding Rep. Adriano Espaillat's campaign to retain his seat in New York's 13th District against a democratic socialist challenger, Darializa Avila Chevalier. A recent poll suggests Avila Chevalier holds a slight lead over Espaillat. The BOLD PAC, chaired by Rep. Linda Sánchez, is routing most of its spending through BOLD America, a separate PAC focused on electing Hispanic Democrats. BOLD America has spent over $2.5 million in the race.
