Democratic nominee Analilia Mejia is running to fill the vacant House seat after serving as a high-profile progressive organizer.
A special congressional election in New Jersey’s 11th District features progressive Democrat Analilia Mejia against Republican Joe Hathaway. The race, triggered by Mikie Sherrill's move to the governorship, centers on the Israel-Hamas war and could further narrow the Republican House majority.

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.
