Two of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s three supported Congressional candidates appear to have won the Democratic nominations for key House seats in Tuesday’s primary.

Former City Comptroller Brad Lander is the projected winner of the 10th Congressional District primary covering southern Manhattan and northern Brooklyn. He is poised to unseat the incumbent, Dan Goldman, in a heated contest largely over where the candidates stood on numerous progressive issues as well as Israel in its ongoing war in Gaza.

Mamdani had supported Lander in the 10th District race, and the democratic socialist mayor also saw another one of his picks, Queens Assembly Member Claire Valdez, prevail in the primary for the 7th Congressional District seat held by the retiring Nydia Velázquez. 

Despite being a freshman Assembly member, Valdez appears to have defeated two more experienced candidates in Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and Queens City Council Member Julie Won. 

The mayor’s third Congressional candidate in the primary, meanwhile, is locked in a tight battle with the incumbent she is challenging.

Darializa Avila Chevalier has a narrow lead over U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat with more than three-fourths of all scanners reported. Chevalier, a community organizer who helped lead the 2024 pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University, has a less-than-1,000 vote lead on Espaillat.

Another big Congressional primary remains too close to call: the 12th District covering Manhattan and currently represented by the retiring U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler. Assembly Member Micah Lasher has a narrow lead on his colleague in the state’s lower house, Alex Bores, with 81% of the scanners reported. 

Despite the high stakes in the Democratic primaries, the turnout in this year’s contests is a far cry from that generated a year ago in the mayoral primary. Through 6 p.m. Tuesday night, the city’s Board of Elections reported 420,527 voter check-ins in the 2026 primaries, including the 172,743 voters who took part in the nine-day early voting period that concluded on June 21. That means a little less than 250,000 voters had cast ballots on Primary Day itself. 

By contrast, more than 1 million votes were cast in the 2025 mayoral primary. 

The one primary battle atop everyone’s ballots in New York City on Primary Day is the race for the Democratic nomination for state Comptroller. Incumbent Thomas DiNapoli is facing two challengers in Drew Warshaw and Raj Goyle.
