David Goldfarb
American politician
David Goldfarb (March 1, 1917 - January 27, 2000) was an American Republican Party politician who served in the New Jersey General Assembly.

They defeated Democrats Joseph C. Barry, Jr. and Edward J. Lynch.

He worked as a lobbyist for the taxi and confectionery industries for many years after leaving the Legislature.

Why this record matters
The phrase “american politician” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16014875. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1917, 2000, 1969 and 1971.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
