NY-16: Rep. Bowman, Latimer encourage voters to cast ballots early
Early voting is underway across the state – and politicians involved in some highly contested races are rallying people to head to the polls.
One of those important races is between Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Westchester County Executive George Latimer. The two Democrats are vying to represent New York's 16th Congressional District, which includes parts of Westchester and the Bronx.
Both politicians held campaign events in Westchester on Saturday. Bowman, who currently holds the seat, brought a bus full of people with him to New Rochelle where he voted early – along with those eligible to vote.
"We need everyone to participate in our democracy in order for it to work, so we're treating this day as like it's Election Day," Bowman said. "We don't want people to wait until the 25th."
