In a new poll from PIX11/Emerson College Polling/The Hill, Goldman was chosen by 22% of Democrat voters. Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou, a notorious BDS supporter, had 17%.
Goldman was endorsed by Bobov leadership on Sunday, the first endorsement from a major Orthodox group in the district.
Goldman is well-known as the prosecutor who helped Democrats lead the first impeachment effort against President Trump
Both Goldman and Niou will participate in a debate Wednesday at 8 p.m. Other candidates who will participate are City Councilwoman Carlina Rivera, who received 13%; Congressman Mondaire Jones, also at 13%; and Assemblywoman Jo Anne Simon at 6%.
Former Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman only received 4% and did not qualify to appear in the debate.
“With NY10 being a progressive leaning district, all top tier candidates have strong progressive stances,” Rabbi Joel Rosenfeld, a Bobov community leader said in a statement, quoted in Hamodia, “but one of them stood out as someone who our community can work with, and benefit from, once elected to Congress. Dan Goldman, who has strong Orthodox Jewish family ties, understands our needs and is a strong supporter of the Orthodox Jewish community,” the statement continued.
Goldman’s wife is reportedly Modern Orthodox.

Democrats in the poll were divided on their top issues. About 23% chose guns and crime as their priority. About 16% abortion rights, and another 16% the economy and inflation. On congestion pricing, 52% of voters in the district support it, 31% oppose it, and 18% were unsure.
Goldman has received the endorsement of the New York Times. The primary takes place Aug. 23, but early voting has already begun.
He’s for congestion pricing. That will destroy the Jewish Lower East Side
There is no one to vote for in this primary as they are all exactly the same. Their views are all anti Israel. I’m going to vote only in November down the line Republican.
Still voting for dems wow you people don’t learn !
Bobov supports an impeachment hoaxer. Shame
1) “Goldman is well-known as the prosecutor who helped Democrats lead the first impeachment effort against President Trump” 2) “Goldman has received the endorsement of the New York Times”
so the general rule, democrats are scum of the earth goes unbroken.
why can’t there be any dinos? like rinos in the repub party? the fact of the matter, there are no dinos in the democrat party, it’s left and leftier. This only proves another rule: republican party is a sham party or so called “controlled opposition” party. The uniparty is closing to bring about the demise of the USA.
Wicked evil man. He prosecuted former President Trump with no results to show for it. He wasted millions of tax dollars and came up empty handed.
Dan fjcc goldman
Keep voting Democrat. Keep voting Democrat.
It doesn’t make a difference what stripes the creature has It’s still a Socialist Liberal Democrat!
Headline in Huffington Post yesterday:
“Progressives are starting to freak out about Dan Goldman in New York’s 10th District”
The article describes Goldman accurately as the “most moderate candidate in a field of progressive rivals” (at least among viable candidates).
Goldman doesn’t support Medicare For All or student debt cancellation or expanding the Supreme Court. He is proud of having been a prosecutor at a time when both the nutty far left and the Trump Cult are trashing law enforcement. His leading opponent Niou is an unapologetic Jew hater and yet ignorant commenters here characterize her as no different from Goldman.
My policy is let’s elect the worst DemocRAT in each distinct. That way middle of the road Democrats will be forced to vote Republican. The DemocRATs have been using this trick and financing all the extreme Republicans in order to get the moderate Republicans to vote DemocRATic. Imagine if bums like the squad were running in Brooklyn or upstate against a Republican then every Orthodox Jew would vote Republican.
I see that the Trump Cult is trashing the good candidate Goldman here in order to help the Jew hater Niou.
does he support yeshiva independence from boe and the haters at yafed?
What’s his stance on shutting down Mosdos during covid ? Private school choice/vouchers?
