New York City Comptroller Brad Lander is running for Congress, launching a Democratic primary challenge against Rep. Dan Goldman for a seat representing lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn.
“I’ve always believed that you fight for the things you love, and I love this city,” Lander said in an announcement video. “I love the streets where I walked my kids to school. The public schools that nurtured their curiosity, the fields in Prospect Park where I coached their Little League games. But most of all, I love the people that make this city what it is.”
“New Yorkers want Congress members who will step up and fight back against Trump and work with the mayor for a city that everyone can afford and where everyone is welcome,” Lander, an ally of New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, told the New York Times ahead of the formal announcement of his entry into the 10th District race.
