Chairman Nadler:

“Last year, as Committee chairs investigating the impeachment charges, Eliot and I stood together against Trump and this corrupt administration. Just like we’ve stood together for years - to pass the ACA, push for Medicare for All, and guarantee reproductive freedom. Eliot is one of my greatest colleagues in Congress, a true progressive, and a lifelong Democrat with a proven track record. We need him in Washington, fighting for the Bronx and Westchester.”

Congressman Nadler chairs the House Judiciary Committee; Congressman Engel chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Together, they were two of the six House chairman who investigated the Trump Administration in the impeachment case.

Congressman Eliot Engel (D-NY) is seeking re-election in the 16th District of New York, including the north Bronx and southern Westchester. The son of an ironworker and a homemaker, born in the Bronx and raised in public housing, Rep. Engel is a major progressive Democratic leader who chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee and has fought for the rights of women, organized labor, immigrants, our minority communities, and LGBTQ Americans for three decades.
