Daniel Sachs Goldman (born February 26, 1976)[1][2] is an American attorney, politician, and heir; he is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New York's 10th congressional district.

He grew up in a Conservative Jewish family[9] with his younger brother Bill Goldman, who died at age 38 in a plane crash in Sonoma, California,[10] as well as his sister Alice Reiter.

[5] After leaving the Southern District, Goldman became a legal analyst for NBC News and MSNBC[16] and a fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice in New York.

Goldman was hired as Senior Advisor and Director of Investigations for the House Intelligence Committee in February 2019 and later became the lead counsel for the first impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump.

[20] A July 14 poll by Data for Progress indicated Goldman had 12% of support, behind Councilwoman Carlina Rivera's 17% and Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou's 14% in the crowded Democratic primary, which also included incumbent congressman Mondaire Jones and former congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman.

[26] He received a backhanded endorsement from Donald Trump, who called him "very compassionate and compromising to those within the Republican Party", which Goldman's campaign rejected as a "pathetic attempt at fooling Democrats".

[31] As of August 17, 2022, Goldman had contributed more than $4 million to his own campaign, leading rivals to accuse him of attempting to "purchase this congressional seat".

[33] Goldman's campaign immediately fired the consultant and clarified that they were "unaware of these grossly offensive remarks" when City & State contacted them for comment.

[38] Goldman is a member of the Vote Blue Coalition, a progressive group and federal PAC created to support Democrats in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania through voter outreach and mobilization efforts.

[44] In June 2023, Goldman and Congresswoman Judy Chu led more than 50 lawmakers in pressing Walmart, Costco, Kroger, and other major American pharmacies to sell the abortion pill, mifepristone.

[45] In July, Goldman called the Dobbs decision "one of the very worst opinions that the Supreme Court has ever issued on both a legal and factual basis".

[48] Goldman said in his 2022 campaign that he supports the principles and goals of a Green New Deal to transition to clean energy and has called climate change an "existential threat".

[51][52] In 2024, he signed an open-letter expressing "disgust" at South Africa's case at the International Court of Justice charging Israel with operating with intent to commit genocide in Gaza.

[62] Goldman supports passing the Equality Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and gender identity.

[63] He said he had never marched in an LGBTQ Pride parade until 2022, saying his work as a federal prosecutor prevented him from doing so, in response to a questionnaire from the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club.
