About (Profile/Biography):
Dan Goldman (born February 26, 1976, Washington, D.C.) is an American lawyer, politician, and former federal prosecutor. He represents New York’s 10th congressional district as a member of the Democratic Party since January 3, 2023. Raised in a Jewish family and heir of the Levi Strauss fortune, he attended Sidwell Friends School, earned a B.A. in History from Yale in 1998, and a J.D. with distinction from Stanford Law School in 2005. Goldman spent ten years in the Southern District of New York prosecuting organized crime, white collar fraud, and public corruption cases before moving into legal analysis for media and leading roles in congressional investigations. In Congress, he focuses on issues including criminal justice reform, protecting children, immigration fairness, and government transparency. Goldman is married, father of five, and lives in Manhattan. His financial wealth makes him one of the better off members of Congress, but he aims to use his resources and background toward public service rather than purely private gain.
