New York, NY – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) joined Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-17), Congressman Jerry Nadler (NY-12), Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez (NY-07), Congressman Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), Congressman Ritchie Torres (NY-15) and Congresswoman Grace Meng (NY-06) today in sending a letter to the New York State Department of Public Service CEO Rory Christian urging him to reject Con Edison’s proposed utility rate hikes, which would raise prices for millions of New Yorkers across the city and state.

Washington, DC – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) joined Congressman Maxwell Frost (FL-10) in introducing the ‘Office of Gun Violence Prevention Act,’ which would re-establish the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention (OGVP) after President Trump dismantled it less than 24 hours after taking office.

“Donald Trump’s rationale for his partisan cancellation of New York’s congestion pricing program is as hypocritical as it is groundless. To claim that the law does not allow for the program while simultaneously ignoring every statute that checks his authority is patently absurd.

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) and Congressman Andy Barr (KY-06) introduced the ‘Chief Herbert D. Proffitt Act,’ which would ensure the families of law enforcement officers who are killed as a result of their work on behalf of their communities are not unjustly denied benefits due to arbitrary retirement status restrictions. The legislation would amend the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits (PSOB) program to ensure the families of fallen officers receive the benefits they deserve.

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) today led a bipartisan and bicameral letter alongside Representatives Joe Morelle (NY-25), Paul Tonko (NY-20), and Nydia Velázquez (NY-7) demanding National Institutes of Health (NIH) Acting Director, Matthew Memoli, immediately rescind his decision to cap NIH funding for “indirect costs,” which would slash funding for lifesaving medical research in New York and across the country.

Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) today issued the following statement on President Trump's purges of the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights Staff:

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) joined Congressman Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) and other colleagues in introducing the ‘Protecting Sensitive Locations Act,’ which would prohibit immigration enforcement, including arrests, interviews, searches, and surveillance, at "sensitive locations," including medical or health care facilities, public and private schools, places of worship, courthouses, DMV offices, and locations that provide emergency services.

Washington, D.C. – As Trump continues to allude to and muse about staying in office beyond his constitutional limit of two presidential terms, reporters and everyday Americans are beginning to wake up to the fact that Trump may not be kidding after all. Back in November, Congressman Goldman saw Trump’s ‘jokes’ for what they were – trial balloons. In response, Goldman introduced a House Resolution urging his congressional colleagues to reaffirm the 22nd Amendment’s plain prohibition on any president serving beyond two elected terms in office. With Congressional Republicans now openly paving the way for Trump to run for president once more, Goldman’s urgent call for people to take Trump’s comments seriously is more relevant than ever.
