Summary
Congressman Dan Goldman is surging in his reelection bid, backed by a powerful coalition of 20 major labor unions—including the United Federation of Teachers and carpenters—who accuse his opponent, Brad Lander, of flip-flopping on working-class issues. While Lander once championed unions, they now criticize him for opposing a housing tax incentive that boosted their wages. Goldman is capitalizing on his consistent record, contrasting it with Lander’s shifting stance. Lander’s camp defends his position, citing lack of housing results and securing their own union endorsements, highlighting a fractured labor base. With Lander set to rally with Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Senator Bernie Sanders, the race is heating up as a pivotal test of who can best unite and energize the working-class electorate.
