CWA-Endorsed Champion Wins Primary

With tremendous support from CWA political activists and retirees and the endorsement of CWA District 1, Brad Lander ousted two-term legislator Representative Dan Goldman in the Democratic congressional primary in June. Lander, who is running for New York’s 10th Congressional District, has been one of CWA’s most vocal champions for decades.

Throughout his career in public service, Lander has stood with CWA members on numerous occasions, most recently at Condé Nast (TNG-CWA Local 31003), the National Audubon Society (CWA Local 1180), and with interpreters organizing with CWA at LanguageLine Solutions.

CWA members canvassed, shared flyers and information with fellow members at worksites, and phonebanked to drive pro-worker turnout to Lander’s campaign.

Lander is expected to continue being a strong advocate for workers. He has not only been accessible to CWA when we’ve needed him but also has a history of proactive assistance, reaching out to ask how he can help in building a stronger New York for working families. He has committed to pushing forward the Protecting the Right to Organize Act and other legislative policies critical to protecting worker rights at a time when workers are under attack.
