Westchester County Executive George Latimer has emerged as a prominent Democratic challenger in New York’s 16th Congressional District (NY-16), which includes parts of the Bronx and Westchester County. Latimer has garnered significant endorsements, including from former first lady Hillary Clinton and former New York Democratic Rep. Mondaire Jones. The New York Carpenters have also rallied in support of Latimer as early voting begins. However, Latimer faces criticism for racially insensitive comments and his history of slow-walking federal desegregation efforts. Incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman (Jamaal BowmanNY) is also actively campaigning, with early voting underway.
