New York — Today, voters in New York’s 16th Congressional District elected NARAL-endorsed candidate Jamaal Bowman to the U.S. House of Representatives. His victory over anti-choice, anti-freedom Conservative Party opponent Patrick McManus marks a huge win for reproductive freedom.
In response to Bowman’s victory, NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue released the following statement:
“NARAL Pro-Choice America congratulates Jamaal Bowman on his victory in his bid to represent New York’s 16th Congressional District. We know that Jamaal Bowman will be a fierce fighter for reproductive freedom at a time when our fundamental rights are under unprecedented assault. We look forward to working together in the future to make sure that reproductive freedom is a reality for every body.”
In the 2020 election cycle, NARAL Pro-Choice America ran its largest-ever electoral program designed to reach, persuade, and mobilize key voters in target states across the country who are motivated by Trump and Republicans’ unyielding attacks on reproductive freedom.
