TL;DR Summary

Analilia Mejia (D) and Joe Hathaway (R) are contesting New Jersey's 11th Congressional District special election to replace Mikie Sherrill, a race that could narrow the GOP's House majority. Mejia, backed by prominent progressives, led the Democratic primary and has raised about $1.1 million with roughly $374,000 on hand, while Hathaway ran unopposed for the GOP and has about $525,000 raised with $109,000 in the bank. The district has leaned Democratic in recent elections, but results are uncertain and the AP will not declare a winner until the lead is insurmountable; polls close at 8 p.m. ET and write-ins are allowed.
