"Goldman, first elected in 2022 after narrowly winning a crowded primary, has gained national attention for his aggressive criticism of President Donald Trump, particularly on immigration. But he has faced increasing friction with progressives over his staunch support for Israel, which has grown more visible since Mamdani's decisive victories in both the June primary and November general election. When asked about Lander's challenge, Goldman's campaign spokesperson Maddy Rosen said the congressman will deal with Brad and other challengers in the new year."
"Lander's launch video makes sharp contrasts with the incumbent, criticizing high-dollar fundraisers, doing AIPAC's bidding, and what he described as strongly worded letters in the face of serious crises. In a district that knows our safety, our freedom, our thriving is bound up together at a moment of dark oppression, we can shine by fighting back together, he says, before closing with a nod to Mister Rogers and a few notes of Won't You Be My Neighbor?,"
Brad Lander launched a primary challenge against U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman for New York's 10th Congressional District, entering with endorsements from prominent progressives including Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. The district covers Lower Manhattan and northwest Brooklyn neighborhoods like Tribeca, Chinatown, Sunset Park and Park Slope. Goldman, elected in 2022, attracted attention for aggressive criticism of President Trump, especially on immigration, but has clashed with progressives over his strong support for Israel. Lander's campaign criticized high-dollar fundraisers, perceived alignment with AIPAC, and rhetorical responses to crises, and debuted a Mister Rogers-themed launch video. Goldman's campaign emphasized his focus on immigrant families and progressive record.
