Jamaal Anthony Bowman (born April 1, 1976) is an American politician and former educator serving as the United States representative for New York's 16th congressional district since 2021. The district covers the southern half of Westchester County, including Mount Vernon, New Rochelle and Yonkers, as well as a small portion of the Bronx.
Bowman is the founder and former principal of the Cornerstone Academy for Social Action, a public middle school in Eastchester, Bronx. He defeated 16-term incumbent Eliot Engel in the 2020 Democratic primary and later was first elected to Congress. He is a member of the Squad, an informal group of leftist members of the House Democratic Caucus.
On October 26, 2023, Bowman pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for willfully setting off a false fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building. In exchange for his guilty plea, the charge was dropped. On December 7, the House of Representatives voted 214–191 to censure him for the fire alarm incident.[4][5] Bowman ran for re-election in 2024 in the most expensive House primary in U.S. history,[6] but lost to Westchester County executive George Latimer in the district's Democratic primary.[7] Bowman was the first Squad member to lose a primary.[8][9]
