Overview
- Rep. Dan Goldman formally opened his reelection campaign and immediately secured endorsements from Gov. Kathy Hochul and House leaders including Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark and Pete Aguilar.
- Progressive challenger Brad Lander entered the race in December with support from Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and the Working Families Party after other potential contenders stepped aside.
- Policy differences over Israel and Gaza have become a defining fault line, with Goldman backing U.S. assistance to Israel while criticizing Netanyahu and Lander advocating a permanent ceasefire and sharper scrutiny of the war.
- Goldman is centering his message on his anti-Trump investigative credentials as a former federal prosecutor and lead counsel in the first impeachment, casting that experience as crucial for the next Congress.
- New endorsements continue to line up — Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal for Goldman and UAW Region 9A for Lander — as the NY-10 Democratic primary approaches on June 23, 2026.
