Shout out to Darializa Avila Chevalier who won big last night, as expected, 87.5% to 11.4%

Working on a piece about how democratic socialist candidates like her are great for Democrats in ways that all Democrats should appreciate--even those who opposed her.

Besides adding much-needed coolness, passion, and youth to the Democratic Party, social democrats like her shift the Overton Window and make it much easier for Democrats elsewhere to do good things.

A photo of Representative-elect Darializa Avila Chevalier smiling as she is holding a megaphone microphone at a campaign rally. She is a light-skinned Dominican woman wearing a dark blue button-down shirt. She has black curly hair and is wearing white horned-rim glasses. A man sitting to the left of the image whose face is obscured is holding the megaphone.
