New York City Comptroller Brad Lander announced he will run for Congress, challenging Rep. Dan Goldman in the Democratic primary. Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren endorsed Lander, while two other progressives who had considered running said they would not enter the race.
Lander announced his candidacy in a campaign video, arguing that the district needs a representative focused on affordability, civil liberties and vulnerable communities. He also cited his record as New York City comptroller, including housing and anti-corruption efforts, and criticized wealthy donors and special-interest influence. Lander said he had filed a lawsuit over an alleged attempt to take city funds; that allegation was attributed to him.
Sanders and Warren endorsed Lander. City Councilmember Alexa Avilés and former state Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou, both of whom had considered running, said they would step aside. Avilés criticized Goldman, who has represented the district since 2023 and has drawn criticism from some progressives for his defense of the Israeli government.
