Assessments
Goldman took concrete federal legislative action by cosponsoring H.R. 633, the TAKE IT DOWN Act, during his first congressional term, and the measure became Public Law 119-12 on May 19, 2025. The law targets nonconsensual intimate visual depictions, including AI-generated material, and includes criminal penalties that can put offenders in prison. However, the enacted law is narrower than the promised federal analogue aimed broadly at sexual predators and incarceration, so this is best credited as partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
Goldman took concrete federal legislative action by serving as an additional sponsor of H.R. 633, the TAKE IT DOWN Act, and that law was enacted during his congressional term. The law has already been used in a conviction, showing a real enforcement outcome. However, the enacted measure appears narrower than the promised federal analogue targeting sexual predators and putting them behind bars, so this is meaningful partial delivery rather than full fulfillment.
