US House Dem Rep. Jamaal Bowman Faces Expensive Re-election Challenge
Incumbent Battling Moderate White County Executive in Final Hours of Campaign
Pro-Israel Groups Pouring Money into Race
Washington, DC - WEB Jamaal Anthony Bowman, an American politician and former educator serving as the U.S. Representative for New York's 16th congressional district, is facing a tough re-election challenge from a moderate White county executive.
Bowman, a Democrat, is running against Republican challenger Mike Lawler. The race has become one of the most expensive House races in the country, with outside groups spending millions of dollars on ads and mailers.
Pro-Israel political groups have been particularly active in the race, pouring money into Lawler's campaign. Bowman has been critical of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, and Lawler has accused him of being anti-Semitic.
As the race enters its final hours, Bowman is clinging to a slim lead in the polls. However, Lawler has been gaining ground in recent weeks, and the outcome of the election is still very much in doubt.
