| 0:00.0 | From WNYC, I'm Brian Lehrer. This is my daily politics podcast. It's Wednesday, July 15th. |
| 0:15.2 | After the New York primary last month, we invited the winners of all five of the really competitive races to come on the show, |
| 0:23.0 | the races for Congress, for brief interviews after their victories and what comes next. As many of you |
| 0:28.7 | know, we had held candidate forums on the show in each of those races. So far, we've had Brad Lander, |
| 0:35.2 | Claire Valdez, and Kate Conley, who won their primaries. |
| 0:37.9 | We're about to speak with Darya Lisa Avila Chevalger. |
| 0:42.3 | Tovalier, we're working with Michael Lashir to schedule a time with him after he won the primary |

| 1:24.2 | primary. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. It's great to talk with you, Brian. |
| 1:29.0 | Can I start as hopefully a service to you and our listeners by just asking you to say your name? |
| 1:36.4 | I feel like I've heard it five different ways and five different media outlets, and I want |
| 1:41.1 | everybody to get it right. |
| 1:42.4 | This happened with Mom Donnie, some people intentionally, I think, and some not. |
| 1:47.1 | So for the record, would you say your full name? |
| 1:50.2 | Yeah, absolutely. |
| 1:50.9 | Well, I say it two ways. |
