The deep-blue Empire State got hit by a socialist red wave Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Nearly all DSA candidates were poised to best incumbent and establishment Democrats in state legislative primary races.<\/p>\n

Seven of the eight Democratic Socialists of America-endorsed candidates were set to win their primary elections \u2014 boosting the lefty group\u2019s numbers to 14 from nine in Albany.<\/p>\n

If Tuesday\u2019s results hold \u2014 and the likely victors succeed in the November general election \u2014 Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s DSA comrades will hold four seats in the 63-seat state Senate and 10 districts in the 150-seat state Assembly. Republicans currently hold 22 state Senate seats and 47 districts in the Assembly.<\/p>\n

Three incumbent Democrats in Brooklyn and Queens\u2019 \u201ccommie corridor\u201d lost to DSA insurgents, including Assemblyman Erik Dilan (D-Brooklyn), Assemblywoman Stefani Zinerman (D-Brooklyn) and Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar (D-Brooklyn), according to early vote totals.<\/p>\n

Harlem Assemblyman Jordan Wright (D-Manhattan) was the only incumbent Assembly member who appeared to survive a DSA-endorsed challenge.<\/p>\n

Here are the DSA candidates set to cruise to primary election victory:<\/h2>\n

Christian Celeste Tate<\/h2>\n

Tate, a non-profit employee and activist, was set to oust Assemblyman Erik Dilan (D-Brooklyn), carrying 62% of the vote with 99% of precincts reporting.<\/p>\n

He carried the Working Families Party\u2019s backing along with the DSA\u2019s, making an easy pickup for the socialists in the borough\u2019s \u201ccommie corridor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dilan is the son of former state Sen. Martin Dilan and had served in the Assembly since 2015. The senior Dilan lost a primary to lefty state Sen. Julia Salazar (D-Brooklyn) in 2018.<\/p>\n

Eon Huntley<\/h2>\n

Repeat socialist challenger Huntley defeated Assemblywoman Stefani Zinerman (D-Brooklyn), with 58% of the vote with 98% of precincts reporting.<\/p>\n

Huntley previously mounted an unsuccessful bid to unseat Zinerman in 2024.<\/p>\n

The lefty has outwardly supported decriminalizing prostitution and softening sentencing requirements for criminals.<\/p>\n

David Orkin<\/h2>\n

Queens\u2019 \u201cLady in Red\u201d found herself washed up in a red wave, losing her primary to DSA candidate Orkin.<\/p>\n

Orkin, a lefty attorney and union organizer ousted Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar (D-Queens) with 59% of the vote after 99% of precincts had reported.<\/p>\n

Rajkumar, a peculiar pol with a penchant for wearing red dresses, was a close ally of ex-Mayor Eric Adams\u2019.<\/p>\n

Aber Kawas<\/h2>\n

Kawas \u2014 the DSA member and Mamdani-backed candidate who once described 9\/11 as a terror attack that a \u201ccouple people did\u201d \u2014 cinched the Democratic nomination to rep a western Queens based state senate district Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Kawas, a self-described \u201cMuslim civil right advocate,\u201d won with 60% of the vote in her primary race against Assemblyman Steven Raga (D-Queens) to replace outgoing state Sen. Mike Gianaris (D-Queens) with 95% of precincts reporting.<\/p>\n

Kawas has also been listed as a speaker for CAIR, a controversial Muslim charity accused of Hamas links.<\/p>\n

While Gianaris, who held a significant amount of power as deputy majority leader and chair of Senate Democrats\u2019 campaign arm in Albany, made endorsements in several other primary races, he did not weigh in on his chosen successor.<\/p>\n

Illapa Sairitupa<\/h2>\n

Mamdani ally and DSA member Sairtupac won a crowded Democratic primary to rep the Lower East Side and Chinatown in the state Assembly.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old \u201canti-ICE activist and tenant organizer\u201d won 36% of the vote in the six-way open primary to replace incumbent 65th District Assemblywoman Grace Lee (D-Manhattan) who is running for state Senate.<\/p>\n

Sairtupac, the son of Peruvian immigrants, unsuccessfully challenged Lee in 2023.<\/p>\n

Diana Moreno<\/h2>\n

Assemblywoman Diana Moreno (D-Queens) won a special election for the Queens Assembly seat Mamdani vacated when he became mayor \u2014 keeping it in DSA hands.<\/p>\n

She successfully fended off a primary from Mary Jobaida who had failed to garner much steam after Moreno received Mamdani and the DSA\u2019s blessing ahead of the special election.<\/p>\n

Moreno carried 78% of the vote with 97% of precincts reporting.<\/p>\n

Samantha Kattan<\/h2>\n

Mandani\u2019s favored pick to fill a western Queens seat previously repped by congressional candidate Claire Valdez won her election over a former AOC staffer.<\/p>\n

\u201cProud democratic socialist\u201d Kattan won with 67% of the vote over Pia Rahman\u2019s 16%, keeping Valdez\u2019s seat in DSA hands.<\/p>\n

Melissa Orlanda, the former President of the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce finished with 17% of the vote with 94% of precincts reporting.<\/p>\n

While socialist darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not endorse in the race, Kattan was backed by the DSA\u2019s Big Apple chapter and by Mamdani.<\/p>\n

The first-time candidate previously worked as a tenant organizer as well as a stint as chief of staff for socialist Brooklyn Assemblywoman Phara Souffrant Forrest.<\/p>\n

Other state legislative races of note:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Conrad Blackburn<\/h2>\n

A lefty lawyer\u2019s bid to take down a Harlem dynasty appeared to fail Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Harlem Assemblyman Jordan Wright (D-Manhattan) held onto his seat with 54% of the vote Tuesday evening with 89% of precincts reporting.<\/p>\n

He fended off a challenge from DSA-backed public defender Blackburn, who trailed behind with 46% of the vote.<\/p>\n

Wright is son of Manhattan Democratic Committee Chairman and longtime Harlem pol Keith Wright.<\/p>\n

Diana Ayala<\/h2>\n

Ex-City Councilmember Ayala knocked out incumbent Harlem Assemblyman Eddie Gibbs (D-Manhattan).<\/p>\n

Ayala carried 52% of the vote with 90% of precincts reporting Tuesday evening. Gibbs carried only 32% of the vote.<\/p>\n

Ayala\u2019s victory represents a pickup for Hispanic lawmakers amid higher-profile fights between establishment pols of all stripes in Harlem.<\/p>\n

Gibbs has aggravated his colleagues in Albany over his two terms and was formally condemned last year for making lewd remarks about his mother and ex-Rep. Charles Rangel on the Assembly floor.<\/p>\n

Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas <\/h2>\n

Voters punished state Sen. Jessica Ramos (D-Queens), a 2025 mayoral contender who got behind ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo\u2019s bid for Gracie Mansion, ditching her for primary challenger Assembly Member Gonzalez-Rojas (D-Queens).<\/p>\n

Gonzalez-Rojas decidedly bested Ramos, taking 48% of the vote with 96% of precincts reporting.<\/p>\n

Ramos trailed behind with just 37%. Her lefty supporters soured on her when she endorsed former Gov. Andrew Cuomo for mayor over Mamdani.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former state Sen. Hiram Monserrate pulled in about 14% of the vote.<\/p>\n

Brian Romero<\/h2>\n

Mamdani-backed Romero coasted to victory in his Queens assembly district, easily fending off his newcomer opponent, Democrat Rosa Sanchez.<\/p>\n

Romero will seamlessly take the seat of his former boss, Assemblywoman Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas (D-Queens), who was poised to take a state Senate seat.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Romero clinched 67% of the vote with 97% of precincts reporting.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t receive the official backing of the DSA for his run \u2013 with the far-left group opting to back Kawas before she switched the race to run for State Senate District 12.<\/p>\n

Eli Northrup<\/h2>\n

Northrup, a public defender backed by Mamdani, won the Democratic primary for the Upper West Side\u2019s 69th Assembly District with 60% of the vote.<\/p>\n

He defeated Rabbi Stephanie Ruskay in a closely watched race to fill the seat being vacated by Assemblyman Micah Lasher, who ran for congress.<\/p>\n

This is Northrop\u2019s second bid after losing to Lasher in 2024.<\/p>\n

Northrup, 41, spent over a decade at the Bronx Defenders and earned progressive endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Working Families Party.<\/p>\n
