Elections
2012
Lancman ran to represent New York's 6th congressional district in 2012.[1] He lost to fellow New York Assembly member Grace Meng in the June 26 Democratic primary.
Meng held the cash advantage, as well as the race advantage in a 40-percent Asian district. She was endorsed by The New York Times and EMILY's List,[2] among others.[3]
Lancman was endorsed by the New York Daily News and the Queens Chronicle, and strongly pursued the Jewish vote.[2] He and Meng were involved in some intense campaigning, each sharply criticizing the other.[4][5] Lancman sent out a mass mailing decrying Meng's and Crowley's stances on Israel and national defense.[5]
Lancman accused Meng of not supporting New York Assembly legislation to increase the tax on millionaires. Meng said she was instrumental in passing the measure, and some Assembly leadership have said both Lancman and Meng played a big roll in the new tax bill.[4]
Elizabeth Crowley mostly stayed out of attack mode, but released an ad accusing Lancman of being too involved in the redistricting process and benefiting himself with the redrawn lines.[6]
