NY Rep. Jamaal Bowman faces tough challenge in competitive House primary
Bowman, a former middle school principal seeking his third term, has been one of the House’s most critical voices on Israel. While he condemned Hamas’ attack, he has said Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. He was also among a few members of Congress who opposed a symbolic resolution to support Israel following the Oct. 7 attack because it didn’t urge a cease-fire or push to protect Palestinian civilians.
Two-term incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman and fellow Democrat George Latimer, the current Westchester County Executive, are running to represent the 16th district of New York.
Recent polls show Latimer ahead of Bowman, just days before primary day.
New York's 16th Congressional district
The results will essentially set the framework for the party's message in November and show how the most crucial suburban districts might vote in the fall.
Both candidates say they'll be on the road every day leading up to primary day to ensure voters get to the polls.
Most recently, the two have gone head-to-head on issues over the Israel-Hamas war, tax records, and gun violence.
