Mejia Wins NJ-11 Special, Elevating New Jersey's Progressive Wing

Analilia Mejia defeated Republican Joe Hathaway 60%–40% in the NJ-11 special election (about 77,620 to 52,122 votes), keeping the seat in Democratic hands and overperforming Kamala Harris’s district margin by roughly 12 points. The win signals a rise for the progressive movement in New Jersey, with Mejia likely to be sworn in soon and facing a June primary and a possible November rematch. Her victory also makes a majority of New Jersey’s federal offices held by people of color for the first time, and she succeeds Mikie Sherrill in a district that includes liberal towns like Montclair and Maplewood.

N.J.'s 11th District Special Election Tests House Majority

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.
