Former New York City comptroller Brad Lander is running against Rep. Dan Goldman in a Democratic primary election. Lander, 56, has built his campaign around a refusal to accept contributions from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
The contest centers on differences in the candidates' approaches to Israel policy. A June 22, 2026 rally in Brooklyn's East Williamsburg neighborhood featured Lander on stage ahead of the primary vote. The primary remains closely watched as voters prepare to choose between the two candidates.
