Bowman, NY Rep. Jamaal

2024-06-22 Bowman Calls for Primary Voters to Reject AIPAC Money at Rally With Sanders, AOC   Congressman Jamaal Bowman, a prominent critic of Israel’s war on Gaza, called on Saturday for voters to defeat the influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which has poured millions of dollars into defeating him, as he made his final campaign push before the Democratic primary in New York’s 16th Congressional District on Tuesday.

The contest has seen one of the largest influxes of money of any U.S. House of Representatives primary race in history, mainly because of AIPAC’s super PAC, the United Democracy Project (UDP), which has spent more than any interest group has ever spent on a House race—more than $14 million, according to The New York Times.

“AIPAC is scared to death,” Bowman (D-N.Y.) said at an animated rally in the Bronx in which Sen. Bernie Sander (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) also spoke. “They are afraid they have already lost,” he said, citing public opposition to AIPAC’s agenda. https://www.commondreams.org/news/jamaal-bowman-rally
