Dan Goldman, former House impeachment counsel, considering a run for Congress in open seat
Daniel Goldman, who was the House Democrats’ lead counsel on the first impeachment of President Donald Trump, is now considering a run for Congress in an open seat spanning Lower Manhattan and neighborhoods in western Brooklyn.
Two sources with knowledge of Goldman’s plans said he was “seriously looking at” a run for the 10th Congressional district in New York City. A court appointed special master released draft district maps on Monday, and final maps are due Friday. Rep. Jerry Nadler currently represents much of what could become NY-10. But Nadler has said he plans to run for reelection in the district he lives in, the 12th, which could mean a primary election against fellow 30-year House veteran Rep. Carolyn Maloney, who also lives in the 12th, and currently represents the majority of the newly drafted district.
That would leave the 10th district open, which has caused a scramble as high profile politicians hope to seize the opportunity of a rare Congressional seat without an incumbent, in some of the most vote rich areas of the city.
