In a July 2022 interview with Orthodox Jewish outlet Hamodia during the NY-10 primary, Goldman said he would not object to a state law barring abortion after the point of fetal viability, with exceptions for the health of the mother. After consulting privately with an aide, he changed his answer to support abortion rights without any restrictions, including after viability. Rivals said he changed his position on abortion four times in three weeks.

Goldman initially told an Orthodox Jewish outlet he would not object to post-viability abortion restrictions, then after backlash pivoted to a position of no restrictions at any stage. Opponents said he changed his position on abortion four times in three weeks.

Goldman campaigned on banning congressional stock trading, calling for members of Congress to be prohibited from trading stocks while holding office. He pledged to put his assets in a blind trust immediately upon being sworn in and co-sponsored the Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act.

Goldman campaigned on banning congressional stock trading and promised an immediate blind trust, yet became one of Congress's most prolific stock traders, making over 500 trades worth up to $31 million in his first 103 days—including buying defense contractor stocks and selling a bank stock days before it crashed.

Goldman touts his progressive values and has sought to build bridges to the left wing of the Democratic Party, telling HuffPost in September 2022 that he is excited to share his progressive values and ideals with those who have a misconception of who he is.

Vote: on "Goldman is one of the wealthiest members of Congress (estimated net worth $207M), an heir to the…"
Goldman claims progressive values, but his $207-million fortune, AIPAC endorsement, and refusal to call Israel's actions in Gaza genocide put him at odds with the progressive wing of his party. The JTA concluded he is outside the bounds of the progressive movement in 2026.

Expected position: As a congressman who campaigned on banning congressional stock trading and pledged to immediately establish a blind trust, Goldman would be expected to address his own extensive trading activity. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Goldman made over 500 trades worth up to $31 million in his first 103 days while serving on oversight committees. He did not proactively address the contradiction between his anti-trading platform and his portfolio activity during that period.

Scoring Methodology

The Capture Risk Score is a composite 0–100 index measuring potential regulatory capture of elected officials. It is computed from seven weighted components:

ComponentWeightSignal
Contradiction Risk30%Stated positions contradicted by the record (recent findings boosted)
Donor Influence20%Distinct documented donors (FEC Schedule A PACs); inferred donors do not count
Connection Density20%Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups; donor links excluded
Silence Risk15%Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Intelligence Volume15%Documented facts from verified sources
Constituency Deviation0%Shown, not weighted — a model estimate, not a record
Voting Misalignment0%Shown, not weighted — needs platform commitments almost nobody has; the roll-call record on /votes is the vote signal

Each component is the member's standing among all scored members of Congress, and the weighted sum is the overall score. Tiers are ranks: Critical is the top 5%, High the next 10%, Elevated the next 20%, Moderate the next 30%, and Low the rest.

Officials without at least 2 documented facts, 1 contradiction analysis, 1 voting record, or 1 constituency baseline are marked Insufficient Evidence and excluded from numeric ranking.

Contradiction findings from the last 180 days receive a recency boost. High-severity contradictions (score ≥ 70) receive additional weight.

Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.
