"Congressman Bowman made anti-Israelism the centerpiece of his campaign in a deep-blue district," DMFI PAC said.
(June 25, 2024 / JNS) George Latimer, the Westchester County executive, defeated Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) in the Democratic primary for New York’s 16th Congressional District on Tuesday night, according to the Associated Press.
