"Moreno described receiving the Queens Democratic Party's nomination as the "honor of a lifetime," stating at Saturday's forum that she was running to "delivery affordability" to working families and fight back against what she described as authoritarianism from the Trump Administration."
"Dhir acknowledged at the forum that she was the "most unknown" of the four candidates running to replace Mamdani, describing her campaign as one that aimed to create economic power and stability in the community."
"In a statement confirming that she is remaining in the race issued after Moreno picked up the Queens Democratic Party nomination, Abdelhamid said her campaign is based in "grassroots organizing," also touting her roots in the local community."
Candidates vying to replace Zohran Mamdani in the 36th Assembly District appeared at a Jan. 3 forum in Astoria. Diana Moreno won the Queens Democratic Party nomination and holds endorsements from Mamdani and the NYC DSA, making her the clear frontrunner for the Feb. 3 special election. Rana Abdelhamid and Mary Jobaida intend to run on third-party ballot lines after Moreno's nomination. Shivani Dhir withdrew from the special election to focus on the June Democratic primary. Campaign priorities include affordability, tenant and immigrant protections, grassroots organizing, and economic stability for working families.
