  1. First detectedJune 2, 2026
  2. Guidance revisedJuly 25, 2026

The page mixes standard campaign biography with explicit directives about which voter segments should receive which messages, including a dated update on opponent attacks and downloadable b-roll. These signals are characteristic of red-box guidance intended for an outside group (super PAC) to execute paid advertising, not for direct voter persuasion or press communication.

Quoted evidence — verbatim spans from the page

  • Voters should read and see visually the breadth of his full labor and progressive leadership coalition.
    Directive about what voters should see, suggesting visual ad content guidance.
  • Democratic primary voters who have voted in two or more recent primaries, with particular emphasis on voters age 35 and older; and all Democratic primary voters of color — Black and Latino — who have voted in one or more recent primaries particularly need to hear these messages.
    Segmented audience description with directive 'need to hear these messages' — classic red-box targeting instruction.
  • Updated 6/10: Voters in NY-13 need to hear about Darializa's very extreme positions reflected in her comments on social media not too long ago.
    Dated update with specific message theme about an opponent, directed at voters, implying ongoing media-buy guidance.

Adriano Espaillat's Story

Adriano Espaillat has spent his life fighting for this community and he has the power and the record to keep delivering for it. He is a proven progressive fighter who knows what our families are up against because he has lived it himself. While others in this race offer a wishlist, Adriano has the receipts: real protection for our neighbors, real money delivered home, and real wins for working people. Adriano Espaillat:

Made history as the first formerly undocumented immigrant - and the first Dominican American - ever elected to Congress

Holds a seat on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, where the district’s funding gets decided

Has spent his career taking on Trump, ICE, and special interests and winning for working families

This moment does not call for more strongly worded letters. It calls for someone with the power to protect our neighbors and the record to prove he will deliver. Adriano has the receipts:

Took the Trump administration to court to protect Congress’s authority to inspect ICE detention facilities - and won

Led the successful fight to fire Kristi Noem and to stop airlines from handing passengers’ data to ICE

Secured $3.4 billion for Second Avenue Subway Phase 2, finally connecting East Harlem to the rest of the city

Delivered millions for affordable housing and protected tenants from eviction across Upper Manhattan

Authored legislation to put body cameras on ICE agents and keep ICE out of our hospitals, schools, playgrounds, and places of worship

Used his Appropriations seat to secure billions for the district: from the Second Avenue Subway to Morningside Park to the Kingsbridge Armory rebuild that will bring thousands of good-paying jobs to put the district on a path to long-term economic growth and development

There is a reason Attorney General Letitia James, Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and New York’s largest labor unions - 1199SEIU, 32BJ, DC 37, the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council, and the Transport Workers Union - have all endorsed Adriano. It is because he has a real record of taking on these fights and winning for working people. Voters should read and see visually the breadth of his full labor and progressive leadership coalition.

Ranked among the most progressive members of Congress, Adriano will keep fighting to abolish and defund ICE, stand firm against Trump and MAGA, pass Medicare for All, ban members of Congress from trading stocks, expand the Child Tax Credit, and bring our tax dollars home from Trump’s wars to make life more affordable for working families. Voters should learn more about his clear record and leadership on these issues.

There is only one candidate in this race with more than a wishlist. Adriano Espaillat has the power, the vision, and the record to prove he can fight for this community and win.

Democratic primary voters who have voted in two or more recent primaries, with particular emphasis on voters age 35 and older; and all Democratic primary voters of color — Black and Latino — who have voted in one or more recent primaries particularly need to hear these messages.

Updated 6/10: Voters in NY-13 need to hear about Darializa's very extreme positions reflected in her comments on social media not too long ago. She keeps talking about how she doesn’t want to re-litigate the past and that’s because she has no solutions for the future.
