Claire Valdez on How to To Win a Democratic Congressional Primary in Zohran’s Commie Corridor

Claire Valdez has dual American and Native American citizenship and grew up in a conservative West Texas town with a horizon that never ends. That didn’t stop her from beating accusations of being a gentrifying hipster transplant, and chalking up a huge win for the Democratic primary in NY-7 -- a seat formerly and solidly held by the first Puerto Rican woman in Congress Nydia Velázquez, who endorsed someone else. The Democratic Nominee for NY-7 and presumptive future Congressmember stopped by Newtown Radio to discuss lessons from the race, union organizing, painting, moral consistency, Palestine, and her hopes, dreams and fears for building a just future for New York and America. Claire was there, but where is she going next? Tune in to find out.
