Joe Crowley

Joseph Crowley (born March 16, 1962) is an American former politician who served as U.S. Representative from New York from 1999 to 2019 changing districts once in 2013. He was defeated by Democratic primary challenger Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in what was viewed as one of the biggest upsets of the 2018 midterm elections.

During his tenure, Crowley served as Chair of the House Democratic Caucus from 2017 to 2019, as well as the local chairman of the Queens County Democratic Party from 2006 to 2019. He previously served in the New York State Assembly from 1987 to 1998 and as the U.S. representative for the 7th district from 1999 to 2013, when it was redistricted. After leaving Congress, he joined the Washington, D.C. lobbying and law firm Squire Patton Boggs. He left that firm in 2022 and joined the rival law firm Dentons. Provided by Wikipedia
