NEW YORK - Political newcomer Tiffany Caban, a progressive Democrat endorsed by U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, declared victory in a close-run primary race for district attorney in the New York City borough of Queens.
But Caban, a former public defender of Puerto Rican descent, told her supporters: “We did it, y’all,” in footage of a rally posted online just after midnight. Initial, unconfirmed results posted online by New York City’s Board of Elections suggested Caban had a narrow lead over Katz, an established centrist who serves as president of the Queens borough.
With Democrats outnumbering Republicans in Queens, the winner of Tuesday’s Democratic primary is expected to easily defeat a Republican opponent in November’s national election. Caban, who identifies as queer, ran a grassroots campaign, raising funds from small cash contributions.
