Here’s where AOC’s endorsement helped NYC primary candidates

An endorsement from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Courage to Change PAC helped only about half of the New York City Council candidates who received it.

The PAC backed 60 candidates in 31 races, saying they scored perfectly on a questionnaire about the Democratic Socialist’s policy concerns, including cutting the NYPD’s budget. Results from the June 22 primary election show the blessing may have helped just 16 cross the finish line first, but did not do much in certain areas of the city.
