Dan Goldman for a seat representing lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always believed that you fight for the things you love, and I love this city,\u201d Lander said in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qmoyCPtPSTw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announcement video<\/a>. \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew 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,\u201d Lander, an ally of New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/12\/10\/nyregion\/lander-goldman-mamdani-congress.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">told<\/a> the New York Times ahead of the formal announcement of his entry into the 10th District race.<\/p>\n<p>Lander is launching his campaign with an array of high-profile progressive endorsements, led by Mamdani and Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., the Times reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrad\u00a0Lander\u00a0is a relentless fighter for working people. He\u2019s spent the past two decades taking on big corporations, winning better wages and fair working conditions for New Yorkers, including major victories for fast food workers, delivery workers, and tenants,\u201d Sanders said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Lander, who also ran in the Democratic primary for mayor, aligned with and endorsed Mamdani.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur mayor can have an ally in Washington instead of an adversary in his own backyard,\u201d Lander said in his video.<\/p>\n<p>Lander\u2019s entry will be a key test of the power of the progressive wing of the party in liberal districts. Goldman has the advantages of incumbency and significant personal wealth as an\u00a0heir to the Levi Strauss fortune.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s proud of his progressive record in Congress and will deal with Brad and other challengers in the new year,\u201d Goldman spokeswoman Maddy Rosen told the Times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York City Comptroller Brad Lander is running for Congress, launching a Democratic primary challenge against Rep.
