Diana Moreno, a candidate in the upcoming Assembly District 36 special election, is seeking to build on the momentum of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the 2025 mayoral election.
Moreno, an organizer within the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), is cut from the same cloth as the Mayor and hopes to bolster both Mamdani’s affordability agenda and DSA strength in Albany if elected to the state Legislature in a special election on Feb. 3.
