Antonio Reynoso, Claire Valdez and Julie Won all want the same open congressional seat. At a NY1 debate, the three Democrats running in the 7th Congressional District, which spans parts of Queens and Brooklyn, agreed on opposing ICE, expanding support for public housing, and backing the proposed IBX light rail line, according to NY1, which hosted and reported the Wednesday night debate.

The sharpest exchange came over campaign money. Valdez, a first-term Queens assemblywoman running with the backing of Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the city’s Democratic Socialists of America chapter, was pressed on the support of a super PAC set up to counter the pro-Israel lobby. Because campaigns cannot legally coordinate with super PACs, candidates sometimes post a “red box” on their websites, a public note telling outside groups what to spend money on. Hell Gate reported that Won and Reynoso both asked Valdez why, if she opposes super PACs, her campaign site was courting them with exactly that.

“Could you help me understand how you could want to end Citizens United and no longer have super PAC funding our campaigns, yet take super PAC money yourself for your campaign?” Won asked during the cross-examination round, per NY1.
