Three congressional candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani—Brad Lander, Darializa Avila Chevalier, and Claire Valdez—won their races in the 2026 US midterm elections. Their victories highlight Mamdani's growing political influence beyond City Hall and reflect a shift in the Democratic electorate toward his focus on affordable housing, public services, economic justice, and cost-of-living issues.
