Score one for AOC over Mayor Eric Adams.
The political far left emerged victorious Tuesday night in four high-profile state Senate primaries despite efforts by Hizzoner and his allies to counter its growing power in Democratic-dominated Albany.
“Today we really proved that socialism wins,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-endorsed Kirsten Gonzalez crowed after winning an open race to represent a district covering parts of Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Her 58.14% to 31.51% victory over former City Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley – with 99% of the vote counted – means one more democratic socialist in Albany alongside a trio of lefty incumbents who survived challenges from moderates.
