This is Endorsement #10 — for Brad Lander, running for Congress in New York’s 10th Congressional District (NY‑10).
In the Democratic primary for mayor this year, I ranked him second on my ballot — and I’m still excited to see him in this race.
He’s a long‑time organizer, housing advocate, and NYC Comptroller with a real record on affordability, tenants’ rights, and good government.
Why this endorsement
- Serious about the work. Decades of organizing and governing, not just vibes.
- Affordability + democracy. A campaign that connects economic fairness in NYC to fighting an increasingly authoritarian right.
- Real contrast with Dan Goldman. I’ve been disappointed by Goldman’s record in this seat — too often on the establishment, status‑quo side when it comes to accountability and foreign policy. Lander would be a clearer, more pro‑worker, movement‑aligned voice here.
If that mix — experienced, pro‑worker, and willing to fight this moment — resonates with you, consider chipping in above.

This is Endorsement #9 — for Dan Osborn, running for U.S. Senate in Nebraska.
This one is a little different for me: Osborn is more ideologically moderate than some of my other endorsements, but still very clearly populist and working‑class — and I’m just as excited about this race because he can actually win statewide in Nebraska.
With Osborn in the Senate, you could count on his vote for a lot of core populist, pro‑worker legislation, even if we will not agree on every single issue.
Frankly, this is one of the most exciting campaigns this cycle - and can really give us a strong showing that is pro worker in November.
Why this endorsement
- Winnable populist lane. A real shot at flipping a Senate seat with a candidate who still speaks to working people and corporate power.
- Reliable ally on big fights. Someone you can realistically see voting the right way on many major populist priorities.
If that combination — win the seat + move populist legislation — resonates with you, consider chipping in above.
