Thank you so much, it was a joy to write. My first job when I graduated college was working for Nydia Velázquez, whom I owe a great debt to, so I wanted to do her story justice. And the 1992 Primary for NY-12 (now NY-7) is the most riveting New York City election (that almost no one knows about), in my opinion.
> Nonetheless, Salazar, whose first run for office was rather tumultuous, ultimately eschewed a bid for Congress, opening the door for her comrades.
"Tumultuous" is a curious euphemism. At the time I recall using words like "fraudulent" and "craven." With the benefit of hindsight, though, we can now use more exacting language to describe her campaign: georgesantosian.
There is also no distinction on Israel I think? Antonio called it “genocide” on Spectrum News NY1 last week. Imo DSA should just endorse him, what are even the ideological distinctions exactly?
Only partially through reading but felt compelled to comment because the historial context in the opening section is so fucking well written

Dsa endorsed Velasquez in 1992.
