"New York City Comptroller Brad Lander has told allies that he is planning to challenge Rep. Dan Goldman in New York's 10th Congressional District, multiple people told City & State. "He's going to run and knows he's got the best shot at defeating Goldman," one person in touch with Lander told City & State, on condition of anonymity. The 10th Congressional District currently stretches from lower Manhattan into the Brooklyn waterfront, including the neighborhoods of Red Hook, Park Slope and Sunset Park."
"Lander lives in Park Slope, which he represented in the New York City Council before being elected comptroller. Goldman lives in the Manhattan portion of the district. A lawsuit challenging New York's congressional lines - particularly a Republican seat that spans Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn - dropped on Monday. If that suit is successful, New York's congressional map could change significantly, scrambling the dynamics of the race."
