Jamaal Bowman Endorses David Morales for Providence Mayor

PROVIDENCE, RI — Former U.S. Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) has announced his endorsement of Rep. David Morales for Mayor of Providence. Stating that Morales is the type of leader Democrats need right now, the former congressman applauded David for his work to protect immigrants, his focus on affordability, and his ability to engage thousands of Rhode Islanders into a growing progressive movement. 

“I’m grateful to Congressman Bowman for his support. He is a tireless fighter for working families and a national leader who has consistently used his platform to challenge corporate power and confront the fascism of ICE. Congressman Bowman’s support helped elect new mayors Zohran Mamdani in New York and Katie Wilson in Seattle. His endorsement of our campaign reflects the grassroots movement we’re building here in Providence. All across our city, working people are coming together to support our vision of a Providence that belongs to our neighbors, not corporate interests.” - Rep. David Morales

“I’m proud to endorse David Morales as the next Mayor of Providence! His vision to cap rent increases, tax corporate polluters, and protect all of us from the violence of ICE is the bold leadership that we need from Democrats right now. 

Right now, ICE is murdering Americans for simply standing with their immigrant neighbors. Statements and condemnations are not enough. In this moment, we need local leaders with the courage and conviction to fight back alongside their community and to do whatever it takes to shut ICE down. David is one of those leaders.

As a State Representative, David has built a record of fighting for working families and immigrants. Now, David is inspiring thousands of his neighbors across Rhode Island to join the movement for affordability and justice. I’m proud to stand with him as he leads the fight to build a Providence for All.” - Jamaal Bowman
