Mejia Extends Lead to 889 Votes in NJ-11 Special Dem Primary

Analilia Mejia widened her lead over Tom Malinowski in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District special Democratic primary to 889 votes (18,584 for Mejia vs. 17,695 for Malinowski) after Essex County added 839 tallies; counts remain unsettled with thousands of provisional and mail ballots in Essex, Morris, and Passaic counties, meaning final results could shift before a potential April 16 special election against Republican Joe Hathaway for Sherrill's unexpired term.

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.

AIPAC's high-stakes bet in NJ-11 backfires, roiling centrist Democrats

AIPAC spent about $2 million through its Unite Democracy Project to attack moderate Rep. Tom Malinowski in New Jersey's 11th District, helping progressive Analilia Mejia and triggering backlash from centrists and some allies. The outcome underscores rifts over Israel policy within the Democratic Party and signals heavy spending to come in 2026 primaries as AIPAC expands into other races.

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by about 486 votes (28.8% to 28.0%) as roughly 91% of ballots are tallied; a prior call that Malinowski would win was retracted, and late-counted ballots could still tilt the outcome.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.
