Lander Challenges Goldman in 2026 NYC Primary

Brad Lander, the current New York City Comptroller, has decided to run against Dan Goldman in the 2026 Democratic primary for a seat in Congress.

This race is important because it's a contest between two different groups within the Democratic Party in a very liberal area of New York City.

Lander has the support of Senator Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York City.

Lander says he wants to fight against wealthy people having too much power and influence.

He also criticizes Goldman for being too careful in his political approach.

Lander and Mamdani worked together before, which helped Mamdani win his election.

Lander says he wants to be a strong leader who stands up to challenges, while Goldman has been more cautious.

This race is important for progressives who want to challenge more moderate Democrats in the upcoming elections.
