Rep. Dan Goldman launched his reelection campaign in New York’s 10th District, where former City Comptroller Brad Lander is challenging him in a competitive Democratic primary. Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul have backed opposing candidates.
Goldman held a launch party for his reelection campaign in Manhattan, while Lander is challenging him in the Democratic primary. Lander’s spokesperson criticized Goldman over his wealth and comments about President Trump’s Israel policy; Goldman defended his record and criticized Lander as performative. Goldman has also declined to endorse Mamdani for mayor, while supporting some of Mamdani’s policy proposals.
Mamdani reiterated his support for Lander, and Hochul endorsed Goldman. The article describes the district as politically diverse and the contest as one of several competitive Democratic primaries in the region, with progressive candidates encouraged by Mamdani’s win.
