Claire Valdez, who was Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s<\/a> pick for New York\u2019s 7th Congressional District, has won the democratic primary election. The progressive state Assemblymember will now have the chance to represent one of the country\u2019s most progressive districts, including Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bushwick in Brooklyn and Maspeth, Long Island City, and Sunnyside in Queens.<\/p>\n

Valdez won with 56% of the vote with 93% of votes counted, while Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso got 36%. Valdez beat out Reynoso and City Council Member Julie Won.<\/p>\n

Following Valdez\u2019s win, here\u2019s a look at her net worth.<\/p>\n

Claire Valdez\u2019s net worth<\/p>\n

Valdez has an estimated net worth of approximately $8,000, according to Quiver Quantitative.<\/p>\n

The website Claire Valdez for Congress describes her as \u201ca union organizer, artist and proud democratic socialist.\u201d She is a dual citizen of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo Nation and the US, and has worked low-wage customer service jobs through high school, college and even after that.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a worker at Columbia University, she joined UAW Local 2110, was elected to the bargaining committee, and organized to democratize her union. A longtime leader in NYC-DSA, Claire serves in the New York State Assembly, where she has fought to tax the rich, protect tenants, and empower working people,\u201d the website says.<\/p>\n

It adds that New York\u2019s 7th Congressional District \u201chas also long stood on the frontlines of progressive political change. It was here that the daughter of a sugarcane worker took on the political establishment and became the first Puerto Rican woman elected to Congress. Nydia Vel\u00e1zquez went on to spend decades fighting for workers, immigrants, and small businesses against corporate power. This district delivered the single largest margin of victory for Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary for mayor. It\u2019s a district that doesn\u2019t just want strongly-worded letters but a real economic vision to win the working class away from Trumpism. That\u2019s what Claire will deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n

Valdez supports abolishing ICE<\/a>, according to PIX11. She also says that she would face the \u201ccorporate greed\u201d that has forced workers to be involved in low-paying jobs. She has previously even touted her track record fighting for the US to recognize the situation in Gaza<\/a> as a genocide, and also to stop weapons funding for Israel.<\/p>\n

Valdez now moves forward to the November general election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Claire Valdez, who was Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s pick for New York\u2019s 7th Congressional District, has won the democratic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":508996,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[233772,233773,233774,42,9991,43,233775,233776,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-508995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-claire-valdez","tag-claire-valdez-net-worth","tag-claire-valdez-wins","tag-headlines","tag-mamdani","tag-news","tag-ny-7-democratic-primary","tag-ny-7-primary-election","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=508995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508995\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/508996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=508995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=508995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=508995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
