No One Left Behind Congratulates Brad Lander on Primary Victory in New York’s 10th District
Victory Demonstrates the Strength of Grassroots Organizing and a Working-Class Vision for the Future
WASHINGTON, D.C. – No One Left Behind Executive Director, Roza Calderon, congratulated Brad Lander on his victory in New York's 10th District and his advancement to the general election.
Despite significant spending and outside efforts aimed at influencing the outcome of key races, voters chose a candidate who remained focused on the needs of working families, immigrant communities, and everyday New Yorkers struggling to get ahead.
Lander emerged victorious in a closely watched contest that drew considerable attention from political organizations and interest groups seeking to shape the future of Democratic leadership in New York.
"This victory sends a powerful message that our democracy is strongest when it is driven by people, not by money," said Roza Calderon, Executive Director of No One Left Behind. "Brad earned the trust of voters by staying grounded in the community and fighting for the issues that matter most to working people. His success shows that authentic leadership, grassroots organizing, and a commitment to economic opportunity can overcome even the most well-funded opposition."
Lander’s victory comes at a time when voters across New York are demanding leaders who will fight for affordable healthcare, economic security, strong public services, immigrant rights, and an economy that works for everyone - not just those at the top. Voters demonstrated that campaigns built on community engagement and shared values continue to resonate, even in highly competitive races.
"As Brad moves on to the general election, he offers an important reminder that meaningful change begins when communities organize and make their voices heard," added Calderon. "His victory reflects the growing demand for leaders who are accountable to the people they serve and willing to challenge the status quo. We are proud to stand with him and look forward to his continued success in November."
