Now more than ever, we need a Bowman in Congress. Hi John, My name is Deanna, and I'm one of Jamaal's sisters. Today, I want to talk to you about Jamaal, and why I believe he is the best choice for Congress here in NY-16. But, before I do, I want to ask you to chip in to Jama…

He's in deep trouble

There's a real chance we can drastically change the future of New York's 16th District and of Congress. John — Eliot Engel is in deep trouble. Yesterday, The Intercept published an article saying that Engel is facing his most competitive primary challenge since 2000 right now. …
