Rep. Jamaal Bowman is a freshman Member of Congress representing New York’s 16th Congressional District. Prior to being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2020, he was an educator for over 20 years and continues to advocate for public schools in Congress.
A supporter of reproductive freedom, Bowman has said that there is no place in our society to tell someone what they can or cannot do with their body. His promise to help repeal the racist and discriminatory Hyde Amendment during his 2020 Congressional campaign demonstrated his commitment to that fundamental value.
