Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY), “fighting to fend off a primary challenge, said on Thursday that he would begin to use his vast personal fortune in an effort to save his House seat, the New York Times reports..“Mr. Goldman, a Levi Strauss heir and one of the richest members of Congress, put $1 million into his campaign immediately and pledged to begin matching every donation he receives in the run-up to the June primary — a dollar-for-dollar incentive that could cost him millions more.”“The congressman framed the decision as a way to show that he was not beholden to special interests. But the cash infusion also underscored just how serious a challenge he faces from Brad Lander, a well-known former city comptroller and mayoral candidate.”
