STATEMENT: From #Mamaroneck Mayor And Union Member Tom Murphy

Catherine knows our issues, listens to us, and will fight for the issues that we most care about.”

STATEMENT: From County Legislator And Congressional Candidate Catherine Parker

“I’m honored to receive Mayor Murphy’s endorsement. He has been a strong voice in protecting Mamaroneck’s community and we have worked together for years to ensure that Mamaroneck’s interests are best represented at the Board of Legislators.I look forward to continuing that relationship and finally bringing necessary infrastructure funding to town to help ongoing flood mitigation challenges amidst a changing climate.”

It was not surprise, but Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed Congressman Jamaal Bowman for re-election in New York’s 16th Congressional District.

“I am beyond excited to endorse my brother in service, Congressman Jamaal Bowman for re-election in NY-16. Last week, SCOTUS made it clear that gun rights are far more important than the rights of women and human lives. At a time like this, we need representatives in Congress who understand that our system is rigged for a select few and who are willing to fight to completely transform our structures. For New Yorkers in NY-16, that leader is Congressman Jamaal Bowman. I am proud to call him my colleague in Congress and look forward to continuing to work with him for many years to come,” said Congresswoman #AlexandriaOcasioCortez.

Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio Cortez’s endorsement of Jamaal Bowman during his insurgent 2020 primary campaign proved to be a turning point in the race against Eliot Engel.

Efforts to reach Congressman Bowman's campaign for comment were unsuccessful.
