Statement from UUCD on the 2026 PrimarY

UCD Members & Friends,

Uptown Community Democrats proudly congratulates Darializa Avila Chevalier on her historic victory in the Democratic primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District, and State Senator Robert Jackson on his decisive re-election victory in the 31st State Senate District.

Together, these victories mark an extraordinary moment for Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. Darializa’s win is a powerful and joyful milestone, one that puts her on the path to becoming the first woman of Dominican heritage ever elected to the United States Congress. Senator Jackson’s victory is equally meaningful: a resounding affirmation of his decades of principled leadership, his deep commitment to public education, tenants, working families, and immigrant communities, and his unwavering record of standing up for the people of Northern Manhattan and the Northwest Bronx.

Uptown Community Democrats is deeply proud to have played a pivotal role in both campaigns. More than 100 UCD members volunteered their time, energy, and heart to help elect Darializa Avila Chevalier and re-elect Senator Robert Jackson. From knocking doors and making calls to speaking with neighbors in their buildings and at poll sites, our members showed what people-powered politics looks like.

The numbers make clear the strength of that organizing. Of Darializa’s 32,790 total votes, 14,355 came from the 71st and 72nd Assembly Districts combined, 43.8% of her total vote. That is a clear measure of UCD’s organizing strength and GOTV power. For Senator Robert Jackson, we delivered 14,808 votes across those same two Assembly Districts, further showing the important role our Political Club played in moving voters and helping drive results where it mattered.

We also extend our gratitude to the partners who stood shoulder to shoulder in this effort, including Inwood Indivisible, the Democratic Socialists of America — particularly the Bronx and Upper Manhattan Chapter — and Justice Democrats. Together, we built a coalition rooted in community, solidarity, and a belief that our neighborhoods deserve bold, principled representation.

This election was also a clear rejection of the racist, anti-Black, and anti-Haitian campaign tactics used by the outgoing Congress member and his allies. Voters sent an unmistakable message: those who attempt to divide our communities with vile attacks will be held accountable. Our district is strongest when we stand together across race, ethnicity, language, religion, and national origin.

Darializa Avila Chevalier’s historic victory, Senator Jackson’s continued leadership, and the extraordinary mobilization of our members and partners show that the future of our community is bright. Uptown Community Democrats looks forward to continuing the work of building a more just, inclusive, and hopeful future for Upper Manhattan, the Northwest Bronx, and all New Yorkers.

In Solidarity,

Declaración de UCD sobre las elecciones primarias de 2026

Miembros y amistades de UCD,

Uptown Community Democrats felicita con enorme orgullo a Darializa Avila Chevalier por su histórica victoria en la primaria demócrata del Distrito Congresional 13 de Nueva York, y al Senador Estatal Robert Jackson por su contundente triunfo de reelección en el Distrito Senatorial 31.

Estas dos victorias marcan un momento extraordinario para el Alto Manhattan y el Bronx. El triunfo de Darializa es un logro poderoso, alegre e histórico, que la coloca en camino a convertirse en la primera mujer de ascendencia dominicana electa al Congreso de los Estados Unidos. La victoria del Senador Jackson también tiene un significado profundo: es una afirmación clara de décadas de liderazgo con principios, de su compromiso con la educación pública, los inquilinos, las familias trabajadoras y las comunidades inmigrantes, y de su firme trayectoria defendiendo al pueblo del Norte de Manhattan y el Noroeste del Bronx.

Uptown Community Democrats se siente profundamente orgulloso de haber desempeñado un papel clave en ambas campañas. Más de 100 miembros de UCD dedicaron su tiempo, su energía y su corazón para ayudar a elegir a Darializa Avila Chevalier y reelegir al Senador Robert Jackson. Tocando puertas, haciendo llamadas, conversando con vecinos en sus edificios y acompañando a votantes en los centros de votación, nuestra membresía demostró lo que significa hacer política desde la gente y para la gente.

Los números hablan con claridad sobre la fuerza de esa organización. De los 32,790 votos obtenidos por Darializa, 14,355 salieron de los Distritos Asamblearios 71 y 72 combinados, lo que representa el 43.8% de su voto total. Esa cifra refleja la fuerza organizativa de UCD y nuestra capacidad de movilizar votantes cuando más cuenta. En el caso del Senador Robert Jackson, logramos aportar 14,808 votos en esos mismos dos Distritos Asamblearios, reafirmando el papel importante de nuestro club político en mover al electorado y ayudar a producir resultados decisivos.

También expresamos nuestro agradecimiento a los aliados que caminaron hombro con hombro en este esfuerzo, incluyendo a Inwood Indivisible, Democratic Socialists of America —particularmente el capítulo del Bronx y el Alto Manhattan— y Justice Democrats. Juntos construimos una coalición arraigada en la comunidad, la solidaridad y la convicción de que nuestros vecindarios merecen una representación valiente, digna y con principios.

Esta elección también fue un claro rechazo a las tácticas racistas, antinegras y antihaitianas utilizadas por el congresista saliente y sus aliados. El electorado envió un mensaje firme: quienes intenten dividir a nuestras comunidades con ataques viles tendrán que rendir cuentas. Nuestro distrito es más fuerte cuando caminamos unidos por encima de raza, etnicidad, idioma, religión y país de origen.

La histórica victoria de Darializa Avila Chevalier, el liderazgo continuo del Senador Jackson y la extraordinaria movilización de nuestra membresía y nuestros aliados demuestran que el futuro de nuestra comunidad tiene fuerza, claridad y esperanza. Uptown Community Democrats continuará trabajando para construir un futuro más justo, inclusivo y esperanzador para el Alto Manhattan, el Noroeste del Bronx y todos los neoyorquinos.

En solidaridad,

Johanna Garcia y Edwin Rosario Mazara
