A triple threat: Three candidates challenge Bowman in Wakefield, Westchester Congressional primary

triple3-1200×389-1

Over the past two decennial redistricting cycles, New York’s 16th Congressional District has adopted more Westchester constituents while shedding Bronx communities, most recently losing Riverdale, Woodlawn, Eastchester and Co-op City. 

The district, which now only includes the Bronx’s Wakefield and a slew of municipalities in Westchester, invites a host of Democratic challengers looking to unseat Progressive incumbent U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the second set of summer primaries on Aug. 23.
