"To everyone in this incredible district, I want you to know that I will fight for you every single day. I did not come to play. I am an unbought, unbossed, sassy, new member of Congress."
"By 8 p.m. on Thursday, the Associated Press called the race with about 94% of all votes counted, showing Mejía with roughly 60% of the vote to Hathaway's 40%."
Analilia Mejía won a special election for New Jersey's 11th congressional district, filling the seat vacated by Mikie Sherrill. Mejía secured approximately 60% of the vote against Joe Hathaway, who received 40%. Her victory keeps the seat blue and reduces the Republican majority in the House to 217-214. Mejía expressed her commitment to fight for her constituents, declaring herself an 'unbought, unbossed, sassy, new member of Congress.' She will need to win the Democratic primary and general election to serve a full term.
