Minder Jones, a former U.S. representative, recently made headlines for his endorsement of Westchester County Executive George Latimer in the primary against Representative Jamal Bowman in the 16th Congressional District. Jones, who is seeking to represent a district adjacent to the one in question, emphasized that his decision was based on standing by his values and supporting a unifier like Latimer.
One of the key issues that prompted Jones' endorsement was Bowman's alleged denial of Hamas committing sexual assault against Israeli women on October 7th. Jones criticized Bowman for accepting the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America, whose New York City chapter supported a pro-Hamas rally following a significant assault on Jews.
