After a nail-biter vote count and being vastly outspent by big-money, establishment-backed opponents, Analilia Mejia has won the Democratic primary for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th District. She beat the machine. She beat the money. She won with people power. From the beginning, Our Revolution proudly endorsed Analilia because she represents exactly the kind of bold, grassroots leadership our movement exists to elect. A former union organizer, she helped win a $15 minimum wage and paid sick days, and later as National Political Director for Bernie Sanders’ 2020 campaign, she helped build a nationwide movement to un-rig the economy and take on corporate power. Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Analilia in this race, and Bernie joined her for a rally on MLK Day as part of his Fight Oligarchy Tour. That movement energy carried her across the finish line against opponents backed by massive outside spending and political insiders.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Dr. Adam Hamawy for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th District — a lifelong public servant, veteran, and physician who has dedicated his career to saving lives, not serving corporate interests. Dr. Hamawy’s story is rooted in service. An immigrant who grew up in New Jersey, he worked his way through Rutgers on an ROTC scholarship, joined the New Jersey Army National Guard, and became a combat trauma surgeon in the U.S. Army, ultimately rising to the rank of Lt. Colonel. He treated victims on 9/11, saved lives on the battlefield in Iraq — including now-Senator Tammy Duckworth — and has spent more than three decades providing care in war zones and disaster areas around the world. But what sets Dr. Hamawy apart is not just his service — it’s what he has learned from it. From Iraq to Gaza, he has witnessed firsthand the devastating human cost of endless war and a foreign policy driven by politics and profit rather than humanity.
