NEW YORK, NY — Democrat Daniel Goldman was named the winner Tuesday night in the race to represent New York's 10th Congressional District, according to AP News and NY1.

Goldman took on on Republican Benine Hamdan, and third-party candidate Steve Speer.

Here were the results as of 11:20 p.m., according to NY1.

• Goldman (D): 83.9 percent (149,261 votes) WINNER
• Hamdan (R): 15.3 percent (27,230 votes)
• Speer (I): 0.8 percent (1,357 votes)

The newly drawn New York 10th Congressional District includes all Manhattan blocks under 14th Street and the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Red Hook, Sunset Park, Borough Park, Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill and Park Slope.

The other race relating to the West Village Tuesday night was Assembly District 66, but it was an uncontested one as nobody decided to take on incumbent Deborah Glick after she defeated challenger Ryder Kessler in the Democratic primary.

Goldman, the former prosecutor who took on President Donald Trump during his first impeachment hearing, narrowly defeated Assembly Member Yuh-Line Niou in this summer's Democratic primary.

In the primary, Goldman also defeated other big name candidates such as Mondaire Jones, Carlina Rivera, and Bill de Blasio.

The first-time candidate streamed $4 million of his own money into the race and also landed the influential endorsement from the New York Times.

Goldman went up against Republican Hamdan, who grew up in Brooklyn and listed her key issues as economic development, health care reform, and safer streets and communities.

The third candidate on the ballot was Steve Speer, who ran under the Medical Freedom Party, and listed an individual's right to choose or refuse medical treatment as one of his top issues.
