Congressman Crowley was a former chairman of the House Democratic Caucus (2017-2019), the fourth highest ranking position among House Democrats. He served two decades in Congress, representing New York’s 14th congressional district and played a leadership role as an influential member on economic policy on the Ways & Means Committee. In a Democrat primary race that captured the nation's attention, he was surprisingly defeated by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which sparked a national discussion over where the idelogical soul of the Democratic Party lies today.
