NY-14: Former Wall Street executive Marty Dolan (D) campaigns for second time to challenge AOC [View all]

or the second time, retired Wall Street insurance executive Marty Dolan is campaigning to challenge Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to represent NY-14, which includes parts of the Bronx and Queens.

Dolan, running as a “new progressivist” Democrat, told the Bronx Times that his Congressional primary bid is built around bold policies that give young people a good start toward becoming taxpaying adults — and reward their parents for bringing them up wisely.

The far left, specifically the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) party, saw a major boost with Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win, and the local chapter recently re-endorsed Ocasio-Cortez. Despite this reinvigoration, Dolan said he sees growing movement toward centrist candidates like him, who believe that the far left “has seen its peak.”

New Yorkers need an “inspiring common sense candidate” instead, he said.
