The Working Families Party expects its progressive message will resonant with voters when they head to the polls this November. 

And the primary results for a handful of key state Senate and congressional races in New York provide a potential roadmap for future WFP successes, but also a mixed bag where their candidates came up short. 

Candidates for the state Senate challenging incumbents like Gustavo Rivera and Jabari Brisport faltered after they were endorsed by New York City Mayor Eric Adams. In a Capital Tonight interview, WFP New York Director Sochie Nnaemeka pointed to Rivera and Brisport having signature issues like single-payer health care and child care respectively.  

"Those are working peoples' issues that they're running for and they'll deliver for in Albany," she said. "It shows the breadth of this coalition and where voters are actually going and Mayor Adams should take notice of that, because that's what voters are hungry for in this moment." 

But the party's candidates were less successful in the Hudson Valley, where state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi failed to topple Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney and Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou was runner-up in the 10th Congressional District in Manhattan. 

Niou has not ruled out running on the WFP's ballot line in November against the projected winner of the Democratic nomination, Dan Goldman. 

"Assemblymember Niou really showed she was able to connect with voters across this district with a really clear message about not what we're just against, but what we stand for as progressives," Nnaemeka said. "By the demonstration of support, it shows she has a big following and people who are interested in seeing her lead. I'm sure she will make the right decision for her community, for her district and for herself."
