Yuh-Line Niou is a New York Working Families Party candidate with a good chance of winning

Ballot Access News:

New York state holds a special election for Assembly, 65th district, on April 19. According to this New York Times story, there is a possibility the Working Families Party nominee, Yuh-Line Niou, will defeat the Democratic nominee, Alice Cancel.

In New York special legislative elections, typically there are no primaries. Parties nominate by party meeting. In this instance, many people feel the Democratic Party’s meeting to choose a nominee was not fair, and that builds resentment against that nominee. This is how the Working Families Party won special legislative elections in 2015 against Democratic nominees, both in New York and in Connecticut.
