Brad Lander defeated two-term incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman on Tuesday for the Democratic nomination in New York's 10th Congressional District, which covers Lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn, CBS News projects.
In what is a solidly blue district, Lander, the New York City comptroller, secured a decisive victory over Goldman, who had represented the district since 2022. The race was closely watched as a test of progressive versus moderate Democratic politics.
Lander's campaign focused on housing affordability, public transit improvements, and climate action, resonating with voters in the densely populated district. Goldman, a former federal prosecutor known for his role in the first impeachment of President Donald Trump, had emphasized his experience in Washington.
With no Republican challenger expected to pose a serious threat in the general election, Lander is poised to take the seat in November. The district includes neighborhoods such as the Financial District, Greenwich Village, and parts of Brooklyn like Park Slope and Cobble Hill.
