On Monday, Brad Lander, the former New York City comptroller challenging incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) in the race for New York’s Tenth District, added his name to a list of candidates staging a revolt against special-interest groups spending big to buy this year’s Democratic primaries. In a video posted to X, Lander called on Goldman to join him in signing the People’s Pledge, a campaign finance agreement designed to curb the pervasive influence of dark money in politics. The Lever was the first to report the story.
