Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Cheri Bustos issued the following statement on the results of the primary election in New York’s 16th Congressional District:
“Congressman Eliot Engel has served the people of New York for decades with dignity, fighting for working people in his community and around the world. I thank him for those years of service in Congress.
“Jamaal Bowman ran an inspiring campaign, and I look forward to working with him in the years ahead to build a fairer, more equal America. Jamaal’s incredible personal story and passion have already made him a fierce advocate for his community, and I know he will carry that passion to Congress.”
