Representative Dan Goldman, Democratic from New York

Dan Goldman

New York's 10th congressional district

NY-10 Midterms Intelligence

Goldman sits in one of the safest Democratic seats in the country: NY-10 is D+69, gave Democrats 84.6% of the vote, and is politically defined less by general-election risk than by elite, highly engaged issue publics. This is a young, affluent, renter-heavy lower Manhattan/Brooklyn district where median income hits $117,000 but housing pressure is relentless, with median rent at $2,352 and homeownership just 29.6%. The constituency is cosmopolitan, highly educated, and unusually attentive to legal, governance, immigration, and public-safety debates—an apt fit for a member on Judiciary and Homeland Security.

For advocates, this is a message discipline district: broad ideological appeals matter less than credibility on competence, rights, and implementation. The opening is the tension between wealth and precarity—despite affluence, 12.4% live in poverty and quality-of-life concerns can outrun partisan comfort. Campaigns work best when framed around rule of law, protection of vulnerable communities, and practical delivery in housing, transit-adjacent safety, immigration processing, or mental health. Goldman’s electorate rewards seriousness and coalition fluency; sloppy populism or anti-institution rhetoric will fall flat.

Representative Dan Goldman represents New York's 10th congressional district, serving 733,272 constituents. The district has an estimated median household income of $117,000 and an unemployment rate of 6.1%.
