While Dan Goldman is taking a lot of incoming fire from his opponents in a crowded 10th Congressional race, he did little campaigning on the final Sunday of the primary season.

Meanwhile, his most-prominent opponents swept across the district in parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, rallying support and reminding people to vote in the middle of August.

Goldman, who is seen by some of his opponents as the candidate to beat after nabbing a key endorsement from The New York Times, took a relatively subtle approach in a tense race — knocking on doors in the district.

What You Need To Know

  • Leading candidates in the 10th Congressional District race took different approaches to meeting with voters on the last day of early voting

  • Dan Goldman, the supposed leader in the race, took a subtle approach, knocking on doors as his get out the vote push

  • Councilwoman Carlina Rivera was in Sunset Park and used a caravan of cars as her form of pitching herself to voters

  • Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou was throughout the district meeting with voters at different local markets to remind them of the election and her progressive values

He has been criticized by his opponents in recent days for his stance on abortion and for pumping millions of his own fortune into his campaign.

Goldman was the target of Rep. Mondaire Jones’ Sunday press conference in Brooklyn, calling for additional federal action against gun violence.

Jones criticized Goldman’s investments in a gun manufacturer.

“Who has profited from his investments in the gun manufacturer Ruger? Which manufacturers, among other things, A-R-15-assault style weapons,” Jones said.

He sent a warning to his fellow opponents, calling on them to coalesce around him to defeat Goldman.

“I’m the candidate on the progressive side of the spectrum who is best positioned to defeat Mr. Goldman and, for that reason. I would hope that people would consolidate around my candidacy before it is too late,” Jones said.

In response to the criticism, Goldman wrote in a statement that he only recently realized his gun stock and that he is strongly against gun violence.  

“Dan has already begun the process of divesting from any stocks that are harmful to our communities, planet and democracy. This asset was never a reflection of Dan’s values, in the same way he knows it doesn’t reflect the values of the multiple other candidates in this race who own the same asset,” Simone Kanter, Goldman’s campaign spokesman, said.

Also in Brooklyn was Councilwoman Carlina Rivera, who took a fun approach to getting voters to notice her in Sunset Park.

Riding in a caravan that was blasting salsa music, Rivera told the Latino community that she is the candidate for making their voice heard and delivering resources to her current job in the City Council.

“I’m someone with the roots and the record and the relationships. And also mobilizing the Latino vote is so, so important. These are historical Latino communities. They certainly are engaged and we want them to show up and exercise their voice,” Rivera said.  

Meanwhile, Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou hit the pavement by meeting and greeting voters throughout the district, including a greenmarket, in Brooklyn.

Niou was out with one of her top surrogates, actress Cynthia Nixon, to pitch herself as a progressive champion who is tapping into the needs of the community.

“We have to coalesce as voters. To make sure we have a progressive candidate that will really be reflective of our values,” Niou said.

She added that there was the need to have voters see her face-to-face ahead of the primary.

“Getting in front of voters, getting in front of people. Just making sure that they know that there is an election and we are out here,” Niou said.

The candidates have until Tuesday to make their case for office.

With the district being heavily Democratic, winning the primary is a near-guarantee to entering Congress next January.
