Brooklyn, NY - Dan Goldman, candidate for Congress in NY-10 and lead counsel for Trump’s first impeachment, today received the endorsement of New York State Assemblymember Brian Cunningham. Assemblymember Cunningham currently represents Assembly District 43 in Brooklyn. This endorsement continues Goldman’s momentum as the frontrunner in the field heading into the campaign’s final stretch before primary day.

“We need to send a proven, effective leader to Congress who can deliver real results for our communities,” Assemblymember Brian Cunningham said. “As lead counsel for Trump’s first impeachment, Dan Goldman has stood up to radical Republicans in Congress and is ready to do so again. I know that Dan will be a champion on the most pressing issues we face - affordable housing, climate change, and early childhood education.”

“Assemblymember Cunningham is a model public servant who has dedicated his career to giving back to his community,” Dan Goldman said. “We are facing threats to our democracy, our fundamental rights, our safety and our planet; the stakes have never been higher. I am proud to have Assemblymember Cunningham as a partner in this fight, as we work to tackle the moment’s most pressing issues and deliver for our communities.”

Assemblymember Brian Cunningham was raised in Flatbush by Jamaican immigrant parents and attended New York City public schools. Through his personal experiences, he's seen firsthand the historic lack of resources our communities receive. This inspired him to dedicate his life to public service and to give back to the community that nurtured him.

Brian began his career as an advocate counselor for CAMBA, assisting at-potential young people in reaching their academic goals and overcoming barriers. He has served as a senior aide in numerous legislative offices from the New York State Senate to the New York City Council, where he spearheaded initiatives for affordable housing, women’s issues, at-risk youth, and small businesses.

Returning to the nonprofit sector, Brian worked with Nazareth Housing on housing affordability and received the opportunity of a lifetime to serve as an aide to President Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, mentoring and providing resources to underserved youth across the nation. Before being elected to the New York State Assembly, Brian was the director of Neighbors in Action, a project of the Center for Court Innovation and the home of Save Our Streets Brooklyn.

Brian currently lives in Flatbush with his wife, Stephanie.

Dan Goldman and his wife, Corinne, live in lower Manhattan where they are raising their five children. In 2019, Dan Goldman served as lead counsel for the impeachment investigation of President Donald J. Trump for abusing his office for his personal interest regarding Ukraine. In that role, Goldman led depositions and questioned witnesses in public hearings, and testified before the House Judiciary Committee.

Prior to that, Goldman served for a decade as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York working with Preet Bharara. In that role, he held powerful actors accountable and made our city safer. He took on some of the office’s biggest and most consequential cases: prosecuting violent criminals and gun trafficking, mafia bosses and Russian organized crime, and landmark insider trading and major corporate fraud cases. In law school, Goldman contributed to Michelle Alexander’s seminal book, The New Jim Crow, which addressed the inequalities in our criminal justice system.

The Democratic Primary in New York’s 10th congressional district is on Tuesday, August 23.
