NEW YORK (Reuters) - Political newcomer Tiffany Caban, a progressive Democrat endorsed by U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, declared victory in a close-run primary race for district attorney in the New York City borough of Queens.

Votes were still being tallied early on Wednesday, and Caban's rival Melinda Katz - seen as the main establishment candidate - had not conceded, the New York Post and other media reported.
