Dan Goldman voted last summer with his crypto donors & the GOP to move crypto regulation away from the SEC to the far weaker CFTC, which this NYT investigation reveals is utterly captured by the industry:

Does Brad Lander Support Crypto?
Based on previous comments, Brad Lander has indicated they are very anti-cryptocurrency. Below you can view the tweets, quotes, and other commentary Brad Lander has made about crypto.
Thank you @BernieSanders @ewarren and the other Senators pushing Democrats to keep dark money out of our primaries.
I’m on board. That’s why I issued the "People's Pledge" challenge to keep outside spending out of our race. Sadly, Dan Goldman rejected it — so we expect to see the AIPAC & crypto spending ramping up soon (in addition to his own fortune).
Not sure if they let House members into this "Fight Club." But I pledge to fight alongside them.

I loved @ben_mckenzie's new movie exposing the greed & grift of the crypto industry. Can’t wait to take these lessons to Congress so we protect people, not scammers.
Dan Goldman’s last campaign was supported by the crypto lobby. And then he voted with Republicans for the crypto industry’s two big bills, the GENIUS & CLARITY Acts (seriously).
I've also never taken a penny from the crypto lobby and I never will.
Our big end-of-quarter deadline is tomorrow night.
Unlike our opponent, we're running a grassroots campaign. We reject money from the likes of AIPAC and MAGA crypto billionaires.
Could you chip in today to help us take back NY-10? secure.actblue.com/donate/lander-…
I wonder if @danielsgoldman will risk offending his billionaire & MAGA crypto backers by condemning this terrible, terrible idea.

What could go wrong?
Hmmm. Whose picture is the headline image for this article?
Your congressmember shouldn't work for crypto billionaires. They should work for you.
Keep big money out of NY-10 and out of our politics entirely. cityandstateny.com/politics/2026/…
If there’s a takeaway from the Illinois primary results, it’s that we need to act NOW to banish dark money from our politics.
Crypto, AI, and AIPAC sloshed tens of millions of dollars into these primaries. Many of the ads they ran were deeply deceptive and intended to trick voters. When unaccountable special interests spend this much money on our elections, we all lose.
In NYC, I passed a best-in-class Independent Expenditure Disclosure Act, which requires public disclosure of the top 3 individuals who fund an IE. I also helped strengthen NYC’s public campaign finance matching funds program, one of the most robust in the country.
I’m running for Congress to bring those policies nationwide and help clean up our politics.
In a battle against Super PACs and their dark money, it’s time for a congressmember who’s on the people’s side.
Tens of millions of dollars in Super PAC money flowed into Illinois’ primary race: crypto, AI, and dark money PACs that hide where the money came from.
AIPAC spent $22 million through shell PACs and never even talked about Israel.
Sadly, we’re going to see it in our primaries cepts AIPAC's support. I don’t.
Dark money erodes public trust in our democratic process. That’s why I passed the strongest local law in the country – so donors have to sign their names on IEs in NYC.
It’s time to get dark money out of politics.

AIPAC has spent $22m to boost pro-Israel candidates in Illinois Dem primaries.
But its ads focus on anything but Israel, & it’s mostly using shell PACs to conceal the $ trail, reflecting the increasing unpopularity of the group (& of Israel) on the left. politico.com/news/2026/03/1…
