    In December 2023, Latimer announced that he was running for the United States House of Representatives in 2024, challenging incumbent Jamaal Bowman in the June 25 primary for the Democratic nomination in New York’s 16th congressional district.[22]

    Latimer has received high-profile endorsements for his campaign including from Hillary Clinton, a resident of Chappaqua in Westchester County, former area representatives Eliot Engel and Nita Lowey, and most state legislators representing the district.[3][23] During the campaign, multiple news outlets reported on the “record-breaking” levels of outside spending in Latimer’s favor. Over $14 million in outside spending benefited Latimer’s campaign, much of it from groups affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.[24][25]
