John,
New Jersey is heading into a special election for Congress — and the timeline is moving fast.
After Mikie Sherrill was elected Governor in November, the seat representing New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District opened up, triggering a fast-moving, high-stakes special election with a primary on February 5 — just seven weeks away! With the party machine caught unprepared, this short timeline creates a real opening to elect a progressive who answers to working families, not party bosses.
Today, the Working Families Party is proud to announce our endorsement of Analilia Mejía for U.S. House in the special election for New Jersey’s 11th District — because New Jersey deserves a representative with a proven record fighting for working families.
But this special election is moving fast, and the window to win is short. We have weeks, not months, to organize and win. Split a donation between Analilia and the Working Families Party today — and help power a campaign built for working families.

Analilia isn’t just another name on a ballot. She’s a Working Families champion — a fierce organizer, a strategic leader, and a proven force for real change. Before this campaign, Analilia served as the state director of the New Jersey Working Families Party, building grassroots power across the state and winning meaningful victories for working people. And now we have an opportunity to send one of our very own to Congress.
During her time leading NJ WFP, Analilia helped secure policies that transformed everyday life for thousands of workers — winning campaigns for a $15 minimum wage and comprehensive paid sick days protections, and fighting to expand voting rights and accountability in state government.
That’s the kind of leadership we need — real wins, not slogans.
Analilia’s impact didn’t stop in New Jersey. She went on to serve as political director for Bernie Sanders’s 2020 campaign and Co-Executive Director of Popular Democracy, organizing alongside labor unions and earning the backing of the SEIU New Jersey State Council, representing over 20,000 essential workers.
Analilia’s leadership has already helped win policies that put money in workers’ pockets and power in our communities — now, she’s ready to take that fight to the U.S. House of Representatives.
Her fight is our fight — for workers’ rights, for economic justice, for a democracy that belongs to everyday people, not corporate interests.
But here’s the truth: Endorsements don’t win elections.
Campaigns like Analilia’s win when people like you, John, step up early to help build the infrastructure, fund the organizing, and show that working people are ready to fight for one of our own.
Will you split a donation between Analilia Mejìa and the Working Families Party? Your support will fuel the campaign, organize voters across NJ-11, and make it clear that working families — not party bosses — are in charge.
