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 also vowed to resume direct action against ICE immediately, telling the crowd he would return to 26 Federal Plaza the following morning to continue protesting immigration enforcement operations there.
The candidate has a history of aggressive activism at the site, including prior arrests during protests.
