In the race to unseat embattled Assemblyman Juan Ardila, the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America has endorsed Ridgewood’s Claire Valdez over Democratic Party district leader Émilia Decaudin, who announced she was suspending her campaign.

The DSA electoral working group decisively voted to recommend the 33-year-old Valdez and the Citywide Leadership Committee followed suit over the weekend in the deliberation process to back Valdez as a demonstration of the growing progressive and labor consolidation against the incumbent.
