Avila Chevalier Plans to Join Congressional Black Caucus

“Darializa Avila Chevalier, the democratic socialist who ousted New York Rep. Adriano Espaillat in a June primary upset, plans to seek membership in both the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus once sworn in, her campaign told Semafor,” Semafor reports.

“That would make her only the second Afro-Latino lawmaker to sit in both caucuses simultaneously; Espaillat was blocked from Black Caucus membership.”
