New York democratic socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier this week declined to say if her House campaign supports sending murderers to jail. 

In an interview, the self-proclaimed “prison abolitionist” refused four times to directly confirm whether she endorses locking up people convicted of murder. Avila Chevalier is running to represent the 13th Congressional District and was recently endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a fellow democratic socialist.
