Mejia sworn in, tightening the GOP House majority as ethics and security fights intensify

Analilia Mejia is sworn in as the newest House member, narrowing the GOP majority to 217-214-1. The day also features moves in the House Ethics Committee on Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, and a push by Republicans to rally support for a budget-neutral farm bill amid intra-party divisions. The Ethics panel released public guidance on handling sexual misconduct investigations, and lawmakers are watching the looming FISA 702 renewal, with broader debates over immigration funding, potential Iran AUMF actions, and tech/privacy provisions shaping Capitol Hill battles.

Mejia Edges Malinowski by 676 Votes as NJ-11 Count Drags On

Analilia Mejia holds a 676-vote lead over Tom Malinowski in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District special Democratic primary, but the race remains uncalled as vote-by-mail and provisional ballots are tallied through the weekend; Mejia leads in Essex County while Malinowski has strength with mail ballots in Morris County, and final results hinge on late-counted ballots.

Mejia Clings to Narrow NJ-11 Lead as Ballots Continue to Roll In

Analilia Mejia holds a razor-thin lead in New Jersey’s 11th District special Democratic primary over Tom Malinowski, with 488 votes separating them as thousands of mail‑in and provisional ballots remain to be counted. Ballots across Essex, Morris and Passaic counties could still shift the result, likely keeping the race unresolved through the weekend. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee signaled it may engage again in June, a development Mejia criticized, while both candidates have said they wouldn’t continue campaigning if defeated. The winner will face GOP Joe Hathaway in the April 16 general election, with a potential June Democratic primary to follow.

NJ-11 Dem Primary: Mejia edges Malinowski by slim margin as late ballots loom

Analilia Mejia and Tom Malinowski are in a razor-thin Democratic primary race in New Jersey’s 11th District, with Mejia leading by about 486 votes (28.8% to 28.0%) as roughly 91% of ballots are tallied; a prior call that Malinowski would win was retracted, and late-counted ballots could still tilt the outcome. Tahesha Way and Brendan Gill trail, while outside spending—most notably $2.3 million from AIPAC against Malinowski—helped shape the closings, though Mejia’s progressive surge complicates the race.
