Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won another New York primary that she was not running in, the New York Daily News reported Tuesday night.
The Democratic candidate won the 15th congressional district primary, after securing the 14th district nomination over establishment Rep. Joesph Crowley on June 26. She was a write-in nominee, despite not campaigning for the race, edging out 22 other competitors.
Ms. Cortez expressed her gratitude on Twitter, but ultimately rejected the nomination.
Shockingly - and I’m told this is not a joke - we have ALSO won a primary in the neighboring 15th Congressional District via write-in campaign on the Reform line!

While I am honored that so many Bronxites are excited about our campaign, I will remain the Dem nominee for NY-14. https://t.co/edidvU5sOr
