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 Ayanna Pressley — 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 Ayanna and my campaign today?

I’m fired up to go back to Congress. 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 first hand
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
debt loans.

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.

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. Please help us
demonstrate the true strength of our progressive grassroots movement and
split a donation of $6 today between my campaign and Ayanna
Pressley.

Thank you for your support, and I can’t wait to see what changes we
continue to make together.

Peace and love,

Jamaal Bowman
