New Jersey's 11th Congressional District will hold a special election to fill the seat vacated by Governor Mikie Sherrill. Progressive Democrat Analilia Mejia faces Republican Joe Hathaway in a race featuring sharp divides over U.S.-Israel policy.
Analilia Mejia is widely framed as a progressive favorite to succeed Mikie Sherrill, with Roll Call noting her background as a former Biden administration official. While Fox News emphasizes her endorsements from Bernie Sanders and AOC to highlight a partisan "showdown," other outlets like SFGATE focus on her outspoken criticism of the Israeli government as a key element of her platform.
