32. Agree NY-10 did good for themselves and us in electing this heavy hitter.

NY-10's fortunate to have had more candidates of decent caliber than most districts, but Goldman combines strong progressive liberal ideals and a commitment to our democracy that unfortunately not all candidates match with, especially, proven, exceptional ability.

Here in GA our stunningly unfit slimeball rep has been reelected in spite of constantly failing to "earn" a spot in MT Greene's spotlight, but I feel good knowing Goldman's going to congress.
