Bowman's Historic Primary Victory in 2020
In 2020, Bowman made history by unseating incumbent Elliot Engel in a Democratic primary. The victory was a major upset, as Bowman ran as a relatively unknown candidate with limited resources. However, Bowman has faced criticism for his performance in office, and his approval ratings have declined since his election.

Latimer is a former Westchester County Executive who is running on a platform of experience and moderate positions. He has criticized Bowman's record on crime and economic development, and has vowed to bring change to the district.
Meanwhile, Bowman is running on a platform of progressive values. He has criticized Latimer as being out of touch with the needs of the district, and has vowed to continue fighting for his constituents. The Democratic primary election will be held on Tuesday, August 23, 2022. The winner of the primary will face Republican nominee Michael Lawler in the general election in November.
