Former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander won the Democrat primary for New York’s 10th Congressional District on Tuesday, defeating two-term incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman in a landslide.

Lander, a far-left Democrat, secured the nomination in the heavily blue district covering parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Speaking to supporters and the media at a Brooklyn victory event, Lander outlined aggressive priorities centered on opposing President Donald Trump and dismantling immigration enforcement.

“Solidarity is the force that we need to vanquish Trump’s fascism, to abolish ICE, and to stand up to the billionaires who are rigging our economy against us!” Landers declared.

Lander credited grassroots organizers and volunteers for the win, saying, “It was my name on the ballot today, but tonight’s victory belongs to all of you.”

He described the campaign as a “team sport” against “billionaires and bullies” and praised New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

The Democratic National Committee released a statement congratulating Lander.

“The DNC congratulates Brad Lander on his victory in the Democratic primary for New York’s 10th Congressional District. Democratic voters throughout the state turned out to back candidates who are focused on making life more affordable, expanding access to healthcare, fighting for workers, and delivering for families,” the statement read.

DNC Chair Ken Martin added, “Brad Lander is a tireless champion for working people throughout New York City. From leading on affordable housing and standing up for workers and renters on the City Council, to rooting out corruption and taking on Donald Trump as comptroller, Brad has always put people first. In Congress, he will continue his work to lower costs, raise wages, invest in housing, expand access to healthcare, and hold the Trump administration accountable. The DNC is ready to help organize and mobilize voters to send Brad to the House and ensure New Yorkers have a proven leader who will deliver for them.”
