DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nThe New York federal primaries, the Congressional races, take place on 
 Tuesday, June 28th, 2016 and there are two important open seats that will b
 e contested in the NY metro area:\n\n\n \n\n\nThe NY 13th CD--  Harlem and 
 parts of the Bronx\n\n\nThis is the longtime district of Charles Rangel, wh
 o is retiring after many decades in office.  The full list of candidates is
  here: https://ballotpedia.org/New_York%27s_13th_Congressional_District_ele
 ction,_2016\n\n\n \n\n\nThe two main candidates are:\n\n\n \n\n\na) Keith W
 right-- the longtime state Assemblyman from Harlem and chairman of the Manh
 attan Democratic party. Keith Wright has been endorsed by Congressman Range
 l and his website is here:\n\n\n \n\n\nhttp://www.wright2016.com/\n\n\n \n\
 n\nb) Adriano Espaillat--   The longtime state Senator from Upper Manhattan
  who has run twice previously for this office. Adriano Espaillat is endorse
 d by Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and others.  His website is here

 \n\n \n\n\nThe two candidates are:\n\n\n \n\n\na) Zephyr Teachout --  Zephy
 r is a Fordham professor and longtime activist who has been endorsed by DFA
 . She is one of our members. Her website is here:\n\n\n \n\n\nhttp://www.ze

 d environmental activist, and a local elected official. Yandik is a young u
 p and comer about whom we have heard good things.\n\n\n \n\n\nhttp://will4c
 ongress.com/\n\n\n \n\n\nIf you live in the 13th CD or the 19th CD be sure 
 to vote on the 28th and if you believe strongly in any of these candidates 
 they can use any help you can offer.  DFNYC has chosen not to endorse in an
 y federal primary races this year for organizational reasons.\n\n\n \n\n\nI
 n the 13th CD, we know and respect both Assemblyman Wright and Senator Espa
 illat, they are both terrific progressive electeds, and  you could not go w
 rong voting for or supporting either of them. \n\n\nIn the 19th CD, we are 
 not as unbiased.  Zephyr Teachout is a longtime DFNYC member/supporter who 
 is our friend.  She is an outspoken advocate of getting big money out of po
 litics.  We endorsed her in her race for governor in 2014 and Democracy for
  America has endorsed her Congressional race. \n\n\n \n
