New York, NY - Dan Goldman, candidate for Congress in NY-10 and lead counsel for Trump’s first impeachment, was today endorsed by Teamsters Local 202. Teamsters Local 202 represents 4,500 members throughout the city in many industries, the largest being the fresh food industry.

“Dan Goldman has the integrity needed in Congress and we are proud to support him,” Teamsters Local 202 President Daniel Kane Jr. said.

“Our brothers and sisters in labor are the backbone of New York City, and I could not be more proud to have the endorsement of Teamsters Local 202,” Dan Goldman said. “Working-class New Yorkers deserve a level playing field, and I’m running for Congress to stand strong for workers’ rights, to fight for higher wages, and to serve as a steadfast ally of the labor movement.”

Teamsters Local 202 has provided generations of hard working members with good pay, benefits and working conditions. Local 202 was originally chartered in 1916 to represent produce workers at Washington Market in lower Manhattan. Today Local 202 represents 4,500 workers and their families. In addition to Hunts Point Terminal Market workers, the union has expanded to include members working in diverse industries in the New York metro area.

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.
