George Latimer (D) defeated incumbent Jamaal Bowman (D) in the Democratic primary in New York's 16th Congressional District on June 25, 2024. Click here to view the primary results. Bowman was one of 15 incumbents who lost their re-election campaigns to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2024.

Bowman was the first Democratic U.S. House incumbent to lose a primary in the 2024 election cycle. According to AdImpact, satellite groups had spent more than $23 million on ads as of June 18, 2024, more than in any other U.S. House primary to date.[1]

Post-primary media coverage examined the effect of satellite spending relative to other factors in determining the primary's outcome. In its analysis of the results, Punchbowl News identified criticisms over Bowman's conduct while in office and Latimer's long history in local elected politics as key factors alongside the satellite spending, concluding that "Latimer’s win isn’t easily replicated across the country...AIPAC wouldn’t have dedicated millions of dollars to a primary challenge unless the incumbent was already vulnerable."[2]

In an interview with CBS News ahead of the election, political consultant Hank Sheinkopf said Latimer's fundraising advantage was key: "One side has tremendous resources, and the other side has organizing ability. What we'll see here is if the money outweighs the bodies on the streets, and it's likely that the money will."[3] An Axios review of the primary result quoted U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D) as saying satellite groups supporting Latimer spent more than was necessary to defeat Bowman, "arguing that Bowman was 'sufficiently out of step with the district' that Latimer would have won with 'a lot less' financial support."[4]

Media coverage before the primary emphasized the candidates' disagreements over the war in Gaza. According to Spectrum News NY1, the "war between Israel and Hamas is a defining issue in the race."[5] The Washington Post described Bowman as "one of the most outspoken critics of Israel’s military response to Hamas’s deadly terrorist attacks last fall."[6] The Post said that "pro-Israel groups have rallied behind Latimer and have vowed to spend millions unseating Bowman."[6] Bowman said Latimer was "running on famine. He's running on the starvation of children supported by AIPAC and Netanyahu," while Latimer said Bowman had "been in such obvious opposition to Israel for such a long time that it's alienated people in the Jewish community."[5]

Latimer was, at the time of the election, the Westchester County Executive and a former state legislator and marketing executive. Latimer said he "helped lead the effort to make Westchester, a formerly solid Republican County, into a blue firewall that has withstood multiple red waves in recent years."[7] Latimer criticized Bowman's conduct in office, referencing incidents in which Bowman was involved in altercations with Reps. Thomas Massie (R) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) as well as an incident in which Bowman pulled a fire alarm while Congress was in session.[5][6]

Bowman was a former teacher and middle school principal first elected in 2020. Bowman ran on his record, saying he had delivered more than $1 billion in funding for the district since taking office.[8] Bowman said Latimer had "been executive in the county for longer than I've been in office. Yet there are not enough resources and investments and time and attention paid to the parts of the district who are black and brown and progressive and marginalized."[5] Bowman said he was "a member of Congress who is present, refuses corporate donations and delivers results for our community. "[9]

As of June 21, 2024, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales, and Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball each rated the general election Solid/Safe Democratic. Bowman defeated Miriam Flisser (R) 64.2%–35.7% in 2022.

All 435 seats were up for election. At the time of the election, Republicans had a 220 to 212 majority with three vacancies.[10] As of June 2024, 45 members of the U.S. House had announced they were not running for re-election. To read more about the U.S. House elections taking place this year, click here.

In the 2022 election in this district, the Democratic candidate won 64.2%-35.7%. Daily Kos calculated what the results of the 2020 presidential election in this district would have been following redistricting. Joe Biden (D) would have defeated Donald Trump (R) 71.8%-27.2%.[11]

New York conducted redistricting between the 2022 and 2024 elections. As a result, district lines in this state changed.

Key Messages

The following key messages were curated by Ballotpedia staff. For more on how we identify key messages, click here.


Latimer said he had an extensive record in elected office and that his "work has been defined by his deep commitment to local community needs, his ability to deliver real results for his constituents, and his willingness to stand up to right wing extremism from the NRA to MAGA Republicans." Latimer said he was running "to bring new energy and his real world experience to Washington."


Latimer said Bowman had not represented the district well, mentioning altercations between Bowman and other lawmakers as well as Bowman's censure for pulling a fire alarm while Congress was in session: "Arguing with somebody across the aisle on the steps of a government building gets attention, but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem, which is what results are you delivering."


Latimer said Bowman's stance on Israel was out of touch with the district's Jewish community: "he has been in such obvious opposition to Israel for such a long time that it's alienated people in the Jewish community."

Polls

See also: Ballotpedia's approach to covering polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[37] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[38] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[42]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[43][44][45]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in New York in 2024. Information below was calculated on June 16, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Fifty-nine candidates ran for New York’s 26 U.S. House districts, including 32 Democrats and 27 Republicans. That’s an average of 2.27 candidates per district. There were 4.12 candidates per district in 2022, 4.00 candidates per district in 2020, and 3.15 candidates per district in 2018.

The 59 candidates who ran in New York in 2024 was the fewest number of candidates since 2014, when 55 candidates ran.

No districts were open in 2024, meaning all incumbents ran for re-election. This was the fewest number of open districts in the last 10 years.

Four candidates—three Democrats and one Republican—ran for the 10th Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a district in New York in 2024.

Six primaries—five Democratic and one Republican—were contested in 2024. Between 2014 and 2022, an average of 16.8 primaries were contested each election year.

Four incumbents—three Democrats and one Republican—were in contested primaries in 2024. Between 2014 and 2022, an average of 8.00 incumbents ran in contested primaries each election year.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all 26 districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.
