"This campaign may be over, but the movement does not stop," she said at a press conference surrounded by supporters Tuesday night, according to the New York Daily News. "We are just getting started."

"To every young person, to every woman, to every person of color, to every Queer person, every single human being who was inspired by the campaign we built—you are next. And I promise, I will be the first one knocking doors for you," Cabán added on Twitter.

"There is still so much work to be done here in Queens —and you better believe I’m going to keep fighting. We need to end solitary confinement, reform our parole system, repeal 50-A, and break the cycle of mass incarceration," she wrote in the tweet thread.

The progressive candidate originally declared victory on election night after an initial count of the votes with 99 percent of precincts reporting showed her with a razor-thin lead of just more than 1,000 votes.

She ran on a platform that centered heavily on criminal justice reform and called for the closure of Rikers Island prison and an end to cash bail in the district.
