Hispanic Caucus PAC Spends Millions to Aid Rep. Espaillat in Primary

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, BOLD PAC, is investing heavily in the reelection campaign of Representative Adriano Espaillat in New York's 13th District. This significant expenditure, totaling over $2.5 million through BOLD America, indicates a perceived threat from challenger Darializa Avila Chevalier, who is backed by Justice Democrats and has a slight lead in a recent poll. The race has become contentious, with Espaillat's campaign and aligned groups running ads that highlight Avila Chevalier's past social media posts and her endorsement from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
