Brad Lander Wins NY-10 Democratic Primary: AP

NEW YORK, NY—Brad Lander won the NY-10 Democratic primary, defeating incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman with 65.8 percent of the vote, according to AP results with 92 percent of ballots reported.

More than 31,700 votes were counted in the race.

Lander won nearly two-thirds of the vote as election returns showed him holding a substantial advantage over the incumbent.

The Associated Press projected Lander as the winner based on the available vote count.

The race highlighted broader divisions within the Democratic Party. Lander, New York City's comptroller, campaigned as a progressive focused on affordable housing, immigrant protections and a more confrontational approach toward Israel's war in Gaza, which he has described as genocide.

Goldman, a congressman representing the district since 2022, emphasized his congressional experience, oversight work involving the Trump administration and support for Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state while criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. Both candidates backed affordable housing initiatives, opposed many Trump administration policies and supported stronger protections for immigrants.
