The 2026 Democratic primary for New York Assembly District 68 is an open-seat contest with four candidates: Diana I. Ayala, Edward Gibbs, Tamika Mapp, and William Smith. Ayala has staked out positions on a wide range of issues including housing, climate justice, and LGBTQ+ equality, while the other candidates have not yet filed issue positions. No fundraising or polling data is available, making the race difficult to assess ahead of the June 23 primary.
