George Latimer, who has led Westchester County for the past six years as its top executive, announced in December that he is running in this year’s Democratic primary to represent much of the county and a sliver of the Bronx in Congress.
The moderate Democrat is in a heated race to unseat the district’s current representative, Jamaal Bowman — who has served in Congress since 2020 as a member of the far left “Squad.” The race has grown increasingly rancorous, with Latimer and Bowman currently duking it out over their respective positions on Israel and its war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
