Bernie Sanders wades into NY-7 race to back Mamdani's pick to replace Velázquez

amNewYork is a local news outlet with an identified author and a clear focus on New York politics. The article attributes campaign claims and quotes, though it offers limited independent sourcing and relies partly on another outlet for a detail.

• ▸Editorial standards — The report attributes statements and campaign figures rather than presenting them as independently verified.
• ▸Author attribution — The article names its author.
• ▸Transparency — It identifies City & State as the source for a detail and notes that official FEC figures were not yet published.

The report includes named campaign statements, competing support in the race, and a qualification that the reported fundraising figures were not yet official. It gives little independent context about the candidates or their platforms, and Reynoso declined to comment.
