   John, it’s
   official.
   I’m running for re-election to represent New York’s 16th Congressional
   District in the House of Representatives. I’m humbled to receive the
   support of Cori Bush — and I hope to also receive your support today, as
   well.
   In a few months, I’ll be asking my neighbors in NY-16 for their vote so we
   can continue causing problems for the status quo and fight for the
   progressive values we all deserve.

   — can you split any amount between Cori and my campaign today?

   I’m fired up to go back to Congress,
   John. Because the truth is, people like me
   aren’t often elected to Congress.
   People like me — people who are Black, people who grew up in public
   housing, people who’ve been arrested, public school educators — aren’t
   typically given positions of influence and power.
   We’re not given this power, even though we’re the ones closest to the
   pain.
   I’ve experienced the same struggles as many of those who voted for me. I
   grew up in public housing and experienced firsthand the result of greedy
   landlords and failing public housing infrastructure. I’ve seen firsthand
   how gun violence affects our communities, our schools, and our children.
   And to this day, I myself am dealing with the crushing weight of student
   loan debt.
   I say all of this to simply explain that I understand. And that’s not
   something that many of our current representatives in Congress can relate
   to — which leads to unjust and out of touch leadership and legislation.
   Enough is enough, John.
   We still have so much more work to do to fully address the racial, social,
   economic, and environmental inequities that exist in our communities and
   in our government.
   As one of very few progressive leaders in Congress, I deeply recognize the
   gravity of our decision-making — the lives of thousands depend on our
   ability to find solutions to the issues we face each and every day. And
   unlike many representatives in Congress today, I refuse to be pressured or
   swayed into making compromises for my constituents.
   With three challengers poised against our campaign, and a voter landscape
   that has shifted dramatically from the one I was elected to in 2020 due to
   redistricting, we cannot afford to lose our momentum or we lose our
   opportunity to continue fighting for change in Congress.
   [ [link removed] ]As a grassroots funded campaign, our power is built and sustained by
   supporters like you — so, I need your support now more than
   ever, John. Please help us
   demonstrate the true strength of our progressive grassroots movement and
   split a donation of $5 today between my campaign and Cori
   Bush.
   Thank you for your support, and I can’t wait to see what changes we
   continue to make together.
   Peace and love,
   Jamaal Bowman
