  "account": "The Indypendent, a free and progressive newspaper in New York, featured Claire Valdez and Darializa Ávila Chevalier on their June issue, covering the state Democratic primaries. Both women stood out as the first Latina nominees for the November congressional elections, representing Mexican and Dominican heritage respectively. Valdez and Chevalier spoke both Spanish and English while campaigning, identifying as socialists and addressing pressing issues their communities face. Their shared concerns included potential immigration enforcement targeting neighbors and the financial strain of living paycheck to paycheck. As they celebrated their victory, the sisters reflected on the future they envisioned following their nomination, hoping the Democratic Party would address the critical immigration problem.",
