Bernie Sanders campaigned with House candidate Analilia Mejia at a rally in New Jersey’s 11th District special-primary race, where Mejia’s opponents and Republican candidate Joe Hathaway also weighed in. The event highlighted the crowded contest and drew attention to the candidates’ contrasting messages.
Sanders spoke at a rally for Mejia, criticizing President Donald Trump, wealth inequality and the influence of money in politics. Mejia also criticized corporate power and described economic hardship in her family and community. The rally was part of Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, and the article reported that hundreds more people listened from another room.
Mejia is one of 11 Democrats seeking the nomination in the special primary to fill the House vacancy left by Mikie Sherrill’s move to become governor. Tom Malinowski responded to Mejia’s apparent criticism of his stock disclosures by challenging her to submit a required financial disclosure; he also said he supports banning congressional and executive-branch stock trading. Other candidates questioned the value of out-of-state support, while Republican Joe Hathaway criticized the rally’s politics.
