Abstract: The article focuses on the role of super PAC spending in the 2026 Democratic primary race for New York’s 13th Congressional District between incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat and challenger Darializa Avila Chevalier. Both candidates criticized outside spending benefiting their opponent but did not denounce super PAC expenditures supporting their own campaigns. Espaillat has received approximately $4.3 million from multiple super PACs, including Latino Victory Fund and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus-affiliated CHC Bold PAC, while Avila Chevalier has benefited from $845,000 from the Justice Democrats PAC and other groups. Both candidates expressed support for abolishing super PACs but acknowledged the difficulty in controlling outside spending. The debate addressing these issues was hosted by BronxNet and City & State and included all four Democratic primary candidates. [Extracted from the article]
