NY-10: Alexa Avils (D) exploring challenge to Rep. Dan Goldman (D)
New York City Council Member Alexa Avilés is exploring a potential primary challenge against Rep. Dan Goldman in the 10th Congressional District, four people familiar with her plans told City & State.
Avilés is currently working to secure the support of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, according to a DSA member, who said Avilés would likely only run if she receives the organization’s endorsement. NYC-DSA’s Electoral Working Group has scheduled an initial endorsement forum next Wednesday to give Avilés a chance to make a case for her candidacy. Avilés declined to comment on her plans.
Avilés is an active DSA member and one of the group’s two “socialists in office” on the City Council (alongside Council Member Tiffany Cabán). The DSA backed Avilés’ initial City Council campaign in 2021 as well as her reelection campaigns in 2023 and 2025. And the socialist organization has made no secret of its opposition to Goldman.
“Dan Goldman is out of touch with his district and the needs of working people in NYC,” said Grace Mausser, co-chair of NYC-DSA. “Since he was elected, constituents have seen the cost of living skyrocket as more people are being priced out of their homes. Furthermore, his cowardice in the face of Israel’s genocide in Gaza is utterly unacceptable. People have the right to question their leadership at this time more than ever.”
