"Latimer Challenges Bowman in High-Stakes Congressional Primary"
Westchester County Executive George Latimer has taken a step towards challenging incumbent Rep. Jamal Bowman for the congressional seat in New York's 16th district. Latimer, a veteran Westchester Democrat, filed an FEC Form 2 to raise money for a potential run. He is expected to officially announce his candidacy this week. Bowman has faced controversy for his stance on the war in Gaza, while Latimer has been a staunch supporter of Israel. Latimer recently returned from a trip to Israel and emphasized the need to protect democracy in the United States.
