Congressman Dan Goldman Launches Re-election Campaign, Faces Progressive Challenger

By BoroPark24 Staff

Congressman Dan Goldman, who represents parts of Boro Park along with other areas, officially launched his re-election campaign on Tuesday. The first-term congressman is running with the backing of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and New York Governor Kathy Hochul, setting the stage for what is expected to be a competitive race.

Goldman is facing a progressive Democratic challenger, Brad Lander, who is running on a platform to Goldman’s left and has taken an anti-Israel stance. Lander is seeking to capitalize on the anti-Israel vote that emerged in the NY-10 district during NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s campaign.

Goldman narrowly won his seat in 2022 with strong support from the Orthodox Jewish community in his district, among other groups. In Boro Park, the lower avenues up to 14th Avenue fall within his congressional district.

The Democratic primary election is scheduled for June 23, 2026.
