New York City Comptroller Brad Lander launched a Democratic primary challenge to Rep. Dan Goldman for New York’s 10th Congressional District, backed by Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and other prominent progressives. The contest highlights tensions over Israel, immigration and the direction of the district’s progressive wing.
Lander announced his campaign with a video criticizing Goldman over high-dollar fundraisers, support for AIPAC and what Lander characterized as insufficient action during crises. Goldman’s spokesperson said the congressman would address Lander and other challengers in the new year, and described Goldman as focused on the Trump administration’s treatment of immigrant families.
Mamdani endorsed Lander, as did Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and the New York Working Families Party. The article describes Goldman’s support for Israel as a source of friction with progressives, while outlining Lander’s positions on housing, labor and foreign policy. It also reports that City Council Member Alexa Avilés and former Assembly Member Yuh-Line Niou would not enter the race.
