News
Yuh-Line Niou is in the news after reports said a Democratic candidate in New York’s 10th District deleted past posts calling to seize private property and abolish police, borders, and prisons. The reporting does not clearly identify the nominee, but it has drawn attention to the race and the candidate’s past online statements. A separate Supreme Court ruling on New York redistricting could also affect the broader political landscape around the district.
