Fox News reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“A Democratic primary challenger to Rep. Eliot Engel<\/a> picked up another endorsement from a progressive organization in his bid to oust the powerful incumbent in New York City’s 16th Congressional District<\/a>. Jamaal Bowman<\/a>, a Bronx principal, got the endorsement from Democracy for America (DFA<\/a>) on Tuesday in his bid to topple Engel … Earlier this week, Engel won the endorsement of a major gun violence prevention organization, Brady: United Against Gun Violence<\/a> … Brady cited Engel’s support for expanded background checks and an assault weapons ban and as well as authoring the Safe Gun Storage Act of 2019, an effort to improve firearm locks and safes that hasn’t passed. “Eliot Engel has championed gun violence prevention throughout his time in Congress, working to make New York and all of our communities safer,” Brady President Kris Brown<\/a> said in a statement. “… Rep. Engel has shown that he understands the need to prevent gun violence in all of its forms. He is an essential partner in this work who is not afraid to act.” …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The bill referenced is H.R.4691<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The only way to knock out Engel is a Democrat primary.\u00a0 Registered Dems outnumber Republicans better than 4-1 in the district.\u00a0 Vote for Bowman to poison Brady endorsements.<\/p>\n
