"Justice Democrat"-That's the reference now.

Anti-establishment Democrats just notched another primary win.
This time it was in New York, where on Friday progressive political newcomer Jamaal Bowman officially trounced 16-term Representative Eliot Engel in the city's 16th congressional district.
The defeat was widely predicted after Bowman, a Black middle school principal from Yonkers, built a double-digit lead during election night on June 23. But the counting of mailed-in ballots delayed final results for weeks. When the race was called on Friday, Bowman was ahead of Engel by 15 points.
Jamaal Bowman is an American educator and politician. A progressive Democrat, he toppled 16-term incumbent Rep. Elliot Engel in a stunning primary upset in June, 2020. He is now the presumptive Democratic Party candidate seeking to represent New York's 16th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. Bowman is a former principal and founder of the Cornerstone Academy for Social Action, a public middle school in Eastchester, Bronx. He is also a member of the Lower Hudson Valley chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.
