[1]Bowman for Congress
John,
There's still over 10 months left until the end of Jamaal's first term in
Congress, but he's already introduced and advanced 21 pieces of
legislation and cosponsored over 500 bills.
We want to share a few of the key pieces of legislation that Jamaal's been
involved with in his first year alone, but before we do, [ [link removed] ]we want to ask
if you'd please be able to make a donation to our campaign.
Our first re-election is happening this year, and not only is the primary
just four months away — Jamaal is also facing two challenges from the
establishment, with possibly more to come.
[ [link removed] ]With newly drawn district lines, a new base of voters to reach out to,
and a competitive primary ahead, we could use your support now to make
sure we have everything we need in the coming months to send Jamaal back
to Congress. Please chip in $3 or whatever you're able
today.

Here are some highlights of Jamaal's legislative record thus far:
* On his fourth day in office — three days after the Capitol
insurrection — Jamaal introduced the Congressional Oversight Unjust
Policing (COUP) Act. It was his first piece of legislation in Congress
and perfectly showcased his ability to create policies that meet the
scale and scope of the crises we face. It also had an immediate
impact; the next month, Speaker Pelosi announced that Congress will
move to establish an independent commission to investigate the attack
on the Capitol.
* In July, he introduced the Green New Deal for Public Schools — which
aims to invest $1.43 trillion over 10 years in public schools and
infrastructure to combat climate change. The legislation is one of the
most transformative and unprecedented investments in public school
infrastructure.
* In December, he introduced the African American History Act, a bill
that would fund educational resources for Black history by funding
educational programming through the National Museum of African
American History and Culture. Prior to introduction, the bill already
received 50 co-sponsorships — and has since been introduced in the
Senate by Cory Booker.
And aside from introducing legislation, Jamaal was proud to support
legislation that directly benefited the district, as well:
* Through the American Rescue Plan, $531.4 million total went to New
York's 16th District. With this funding, local and county governments
were able to provide essential services, reopen schools and
businesses, and limit the spread of COVID-19.
* Jamaal also collaborated with local governments to open four vaccine
sites in the district within the first 100 days of office, ensuring
that NY-16 had shots in arms available as soon as possible after being
hit hardest by the pandemic.
* Due to Jamaal's staunch support of Build Back Better, over $185
million in child tax credit tax cuts were given to over 84,000
families in the district. 75% of children in NY-16 were impacted by
this — and the average benefit for NY-16 households was $2,800.
