I was hoping he’d challenge Dan Goldman but this would work too

But his name is an anagram, so that should help.

There’s something pleasing about anagrammatic replacement.

I was puzzled but your hint gave me context clues… Nadler —> Lander!

Lander v Cuomo in the most lopsided primary in district history.

Yes, I know Lander is a Park Slope guy/repped BK in City Council, you do not have to live in a congressional district to run in it (but primarying Goldman is probably a better move for him)

Word on the street is that Lander is not planning to primary Dan Goldman … but someone else is looking into it seriously already.

(All I'm going on re: that assessment is this graf and that he went to Yale, so please feel free to correct me!)

Elkind is coming into the race with the promise of heavy financial backing, including from LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. Among the local political figures backing him are Dan Doctoroff, who served as a deputy mayor under Michael Bloomberg, and former City Councilman Rafael Espinal, who told CNN, “This isn’t about removing Nadler, but about who is the best person to carry the baton.”

Lander doesn’t live in the district. Mark Levine is a good choice though.

Good lord no to Levine. He’s awful and I’m a Dem. We lost Maloney who would have been so much better for my district.

Doesn't need to live in the district to run for the seat, and he was in citywide office long enough to earn cred on the UWS!
