In a still image provided by the Capitol Police on Saturday, Democratic U.S. Representative Jamaal Bowman, who represents a portion of New York City and its nearby suburbs, can be seen setting off the fire alarm next to a building’s exit that contains the offices of Congress. The fire alarm caused an evacuation of a congressional office building just ahead of a vote to pass a short-term funding bill. On Sunday morning, the incident was under investigation.
In a statement, Bowman acknowledged setting off the fire alarm, which he said was a mistake, but he denied doing so to stall the vote as many Republicans claimed. A bipartisan bill to avert a 45-day government shutdown was set to be put to a vote in the House.
I thought the alarm would open the door, and I pulled the fire alarm to open the door by accident.” “I was just trying to get to my vote and the door that’s usually open wasn’t open, it was closed,” said. NY Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D), on June 22, 2023.
Congressman Jamaal Bowman, Ed.D., represents New York’s 16th District, which includes the Northern Bronx and parts of Westchester County, including Yonkers, New Rochelle, and Mount Vernon. Rep. Bowman was born and raised in New York City, spending his early years in public housing and rent-controlled apartments.
