Rep. Jamaal Bowman has received a crucial endorsement for reelection from the New York Working Families Party as he gears up to pursue his third term representing the 16th Congressional District.

The 16th District encompasses sections of the Bronx and southern Westchester County, and holds significant importance in local politics.

Members of the Westchester-Putnam chapter of the party highlighted Bowman's consistent advocacy for working families in a statement. They commended his vocal support and initiatives aimed at bolstering investments in crucial areas such as affordable housing, education, and youth programs.

While Bowman's candidacy gathers support, there's speculation about a potential challenge in the Democratic primary. Westchester County Executive George Latimer is reportedly considering contesting Bowman's reelection bid, setting the stage for a potentially competitive race in the district.
