Brad Lander was born on July 8, 1969, the son of Carole Lander and David Lander, a bankruptcy attorney, and grew up in a Reform Jewish family in Creve Coeur, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri.
He graduated from Parkway North High School in 1987 and earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago in 1991, where he received a Harry S. Truman Scholarship and joined the Democratic Socialists of America.
A Marshall Scholarship took him to University College London for a master's degree in anthropology, and he later completed a master's degree in urban planning at the Pratt Institute in New York.
Brad Lander spent his early career in housing and community development, serving as executive director of the Fifth Avenue Committee, a Park Slope nonprofit that develops and manages affordable housing, from 1993 to 2003, and as a director of the Pratt Center for Community Development from 2003 to 2009. He won a seat on the New York City Council in 2009 and represented the 39th district from 2010 to 2021, co-founding the council's Progressive Caucus.
Elected New York City comptroller in 2021, Lander served from 2022 to 2025 and often used the office's oversight role to challenge the policies of Mayor Eric Adams. In June 2025 he was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at an immigration court while linking arms with a person ICE was trying to detain. In the 2025 mayoral election he cross-endorsed Zohran Mamdani and placed third in the Democratic primary.
New York's 10th congressional district takes in Lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn, including Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Red Hook, Sunset Park, the East Village, and the Financial District, and its incumbent, Democrat Dan Goldman, was first elected in 2022.
Brad Lander announced a primary challenge to Goldman on December 10, 2025, with Mamdani's backing, and City Councilor Alexa Avilés withdrew from the race the next day.
Lander won the Democratic primary on June 24, 2026, with 66.0% of the vote to Goldman's 33.8%, carrying both his Brownstone Brooklyn base and Lower Manhattan.
In the general election on November 3, 2026, he runs on the Democratic and Working Families Party lines against Jennifer Moore, an activist on the Republican and Conservative Party lines.
