"Avilés is currently working to secure the support of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, according to a DSA member, who said Avilés would likely only run if she receives the organization's endorsement. NYC-DSA's Electoral Working Group has scheduled an initial endorsement forum next Wednesday to give Avilés a chance to make a case for her candidacy. Avilés declined to comment on her plans."
""Dan Goldman is out of touch with his district and the needs of working people in NYC," said Grace Mausser, co-chair of NYC-DSA. "Since he was elected, constituents have seen the cost of living skyrocket as more people are being priced out of their homes. Furthermore, his cowardice in the face of Israel's genocide in Gaza is utterly unacceptable. People have the right to question their leadership at this time more than ever.""
Alexa Avilés is exploring a potential primary bid against Rep. Dan Goldman in the 10th Congressional District while seeking endorsement from the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. NYC-DSA has scheduled an initial endorsement forum to allow Avilés to present her case. Avilés is an active DSA member and one of two self-described socialists on the City Council, and the DSA previously backed her council campaigns. NYC-DSA leaders criticized Goldman for being out of touch and for his stance on Gaza, while noting endorsement decisions for 2026 races are just beginning. Avilés represents City Council District 38, which overlaps much of the 10th.
