did do quite well.
I, you know, I would imagine, or again, particularly with voters under 50 and voters over 50, but there are also many Hispanic voters who live in that district who are not, you know, who are not Dominican, they're Puerto Rican, they're Mexican.
And I think that's where he really struggled because, you know,
Take a neighborhood like East Harlem, for instance, which, again, is younger and is kind of outside of his base, but still very Hispanic.
That was a place where Daria Lisa was able to do very well.
But then again, Washington Heights and the Bronx, older places, he kind of held on, but he still didn't really get the margins that he needed out of his core base of support.
And again, it points to this age polarization that we've discussed so much.
Of course.
Yeah.
And I mean, I think that's kind of a testament to, you know, the close to decade plus of political organizing that DSA has been able to do in New York City.
You know, and again, you know, this is something this is kind of a theme of my writing.
Ideology, I think, matters a lot, but also the voters kind of relationships to the candidates, the institutions they represent and just kind of.
DSA and Mamdani now becoming these widely viewed and in the case of New York City, widely liked institutions, that does create a greater familiarity with older voters.
And again, also this, you know, when you're the Claire Valdez campaign and you knock over 300,000 doors, you basically do outreach to every real grassroots outreach to every Democrat in the 7th Congressional District.
You know, that's kind of the margins that you manifest, basically.
And it's, you know, for again, there was a lot of talk about, you know, oh, you know, the Reynoso campaign, things like that.
They've been there for longer.
They're the ones more rooted in the community, but they were essentially out organized.
And again, this is, but, you know, 300,000 doors is, you know, a tremendous number, things like that.
But it was kind of the culmination of, I would say, a decade of work kind of going into that.
