Empowerment fund says Bowman is losing black support because he's 'out of touch and out of step'

In an expensive and competitive Democratic primary for New York’s 16th Congressional District, a new organization is putting its pocketbook in the game.

National Black Empowerment Action Fund founder and AIPAC alumnus Darius Jones said he believes Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s (D-NY) political leanings do not accurately represent the black voters in his district. As a result, the fund has put in half a million dollars toward funding the opposition against Bowman.
