119th Congress

Washington D.C. – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10), along with Representatives Jason Crow (CO-06), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06), and Eric Swalwell (CA-14) hosted Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges to condemn Donald Trump’s blanket pardons for roughly 1,500 January 6th insurrectionists. Donald Trump’s pardons for the January 6th rioters freed individuals convicted of assaulting police officers, seditious conspiracy, and other violent crimes.

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Representatives Dan Goldman (NY-10) and Mike Lawler (NY-17) led a bipartisan group of 28 members to introduce the Jewish American Security Act (H.R. 9211), which would strengthen federal efforts to counter antisemitism in the United States and protect the Jewish community. In the wake of several high profile antisemitic attacks across the country, including the fire bombing in Colorado, the shooting of two staffers in Washington, D.C, and the arson in Pennsylvania, there is a clear need to address the scourge of antisemitism. This legislation uses a Six-Point Security Plan to protect Jewish-Americans and Jewish institutions. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and James Lankford (R-OK) lead companion legislation in the Senate.

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Representative Dan Goldman (NY-10) introduced new legislation to help install Automated External Defibrillators, lifesaving devices that help immediately treat cardiac arrests by restoring a heartbeat, in federally-assisted multifamily residential buildings, including NYCHA. The Residential AED and CPR Preparedness Act of 2026 would authorize a $25 million annual grant program for five years to eligible entities to support access to AEDs and CPR. Funding could be used to support AED and CPR training for residents and building staff; purchase and maintain AEDs for use in multifamily buildings; and establish cardiac emergency response plans. This bill could support the placement of an estimated 75,000 AEDs in multifamily buildings.

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Representatives Dan Goldman (NY-10) and Blake Moore (UT-01) introduced the bipartisan Gambling Disorder Health Study Act, new legislation that would direct the federal government to conduct a comprehensive, multi-year investigation into the causes, development, and long-term effects of gambling disorder and to evaluate prevention, treatment, and intervention strategies. Despite a skyrocketing percentage of Americans engaging in online gambling following the overturn of the federal ban on sports betting, no federal agency is currently designated or funded to lead national research in this area. This legislation would appropriate 10% of the federal excise tax revenue on state-authorized wagers to fund this study for up to three fiscal years.

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Representatives Dan Goldman (D-NY) and Jason Crow (D-CO) and U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Alex Padilla (D-CA) are leading 70 lawmakers in demanding that the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) reimburse providers for work performed under their contract to furnish legal services to unaccompanied children. ORR has not issued reimbursements for services rendered since December 2025, despite Congress having appropriated funds for this purpose. The agency’s ongoing refusal to issue payments contravenes the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) requirements, appropriations directives, and the federal government’s contractual obligations.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Dan Goldman (NY-10), Rep. Judy Chu (CA-28), and Rep. Jill Tokuda (HI-02), introduced the Harry Lew and Danny Chen Military Justice Reform Act, which would initiate the process of criminalizing military hazing in the Military Code of Justice. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) will be leading the Senate companion. The Act is named after Lance Corporal Harry Lew, Rep. Chu’s nephew, and Private Danny Chen, a Chinatown native, who both endured abuse from military superiors during their deployments to Afghanistan and died by suicide following their attacks. The bill would require the Joint Service Committee on Military Justice (JSC) to conduct an analysis and subsequent report to Congress on whether the Military Code of Justice should contain a standalone crime for hazing.
