John,

We're committed to making sure our next representative has the best interests of this district at heart, and to support those who are hurting most during the COVID-19 crisis.

So today, we want to hear from you: what issues matter most to you and your family right now? We want to fully understand the most urgent issues our supporters are facing in the time of COVID-19.

Our fight for big, progressive change has never been more important. This upcoming primary is our first real chance in years to oust entrenched incumbent Representative Eliot Engel in favor of someone who will actually fight for working-class families.

People in NY-16 and across the nation are hungry for bold, progressive leadership in Congress that will fight for solutions that match the scale of our problems.

We need a leader who understands the issues people are facing and the priorities of working-class families. Jamaal's ready to rise to this challenge, but to do so we need to have the most up-to-date information possible.

So, will you please take two minutes right now to share your thoughts on what issues matter most to you right now?

We look forward to reading your answers.

— Team Bowman
