Committee Assignments

Why this matters: committee seats are where legislative influence actually happens -- they are frequently the direct explanation for which industries and interest groups direct money toward a given member.

Timeline

Who This Is

Daniel Goldman is a Democrat representing New York’s 10th congressional district in the U.S. House since January 2023. This profile details the sources of his campaign financing, separating direct contributions from independent expenditures, and reports the combined total of $1,286,435.85. Direct contributions amount to $1,135,572.85, while supporting independent expenditures total $150,863. No independent expenditures oppose his candidacy.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

Direct contributions are dominated by the Dan Goldman Victory Fund, which alone supplied eight separate donations totaling $604,850, including the largest single gift of $112,500. The next biggest direct donor is the Better Blue Fund, a progressive political action committee, contributing $55,100. All other listed donors are additional contributions from the Dan Goldman Victory Fund ranging from $54,800 to $35,450. Independent expenditures supporting Goldman were provided primarily by Protect Progress, a progressive advocacy group, which spent $150,853 across two filings. The Sierra Club Independent Action contributed a modest $10 in support, and no outside groups funded opposition.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: the overwhelming share of direct money comes from the candidate’s own Victory Fund, indicating a high level of self‑financing rather than reliance on industry or corporate PACs. The only non‑personal direct donor, Better Blue Fund, is a progressive‑oriented political committee, which aligns with Goldman’s Democratic affiliation. Independent expenditure support comes from Protect Progress, an organization focused on environmental and progressive issues, and a small contribution from the Sierra Club, suggesting alignment with progressive policy priorities. None of the top donors are tied to the jurisdictions of the Homeland Security or Judiciary committees, so no direct sectoral linkage is evident. No independent expenditures were recorded opposing his campaign, reflecting a lack of organized opposition spending. Because no votes are currently linked to tracked bills, the profile cannot correlate voting behavior with donor interests.
