Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Westchester County Executive George Latimer faced off in a primary debate for New York’s 16th Congressional District on Spectrum News Wednesday. 

The hourlong debate was hosted by political anchors Errol Louis and Susan Arbetter.

The district comprises a small swath of the northern Bronx and the southern half of Westchester County, including White Plains, Mount Vernon, Yonkers, New Rochelle and Rye.

Latimer, who is a former state senator, became the county executive in 2017 after defeating Republican incumbent Rob Astorino. In early December, he announced he would challenge Bowman for the seat. 

Bowman was first elected to the seat in 2020, defeating 31-year incumbent Rep. Eliot Engel.

Early voting starts Saturday, June 15, and the primary vote is on Tuesday, June 25.
