John,
With over 90% of the vote counted, last night’s special primary in New Jersey’s 11th district is setting off a political shockwave:
Analilia Mejia — a Working Families Party leader — is winning in the special election for New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District!
This wasn’t just a referendum on the issues that voters want Congress to address. It was also a warning shot to the entire political establishment.
Analilia’s performance yesterday was historic. She shocked the New Jersey political establishment, and did what so many people said she couldn’t.
Working people in New Jersey and across the country are sick and tired of the status quo and hungry for real leadership — and Analilia's performance was proof of that.
She ran on standing up for workers’ rights, economic justice, and a democracy that belongs to everyday people, not corporate interests. Those are issues that are resonating across the entire country. Now, our mission is to keep this energy going.
Split a donation today between Analilia Mejia’s campaign and the Working Families Party and help spread this political shockwave everywhere, starting now and all the way through November. Help elect leaders like Analilia and build the party that is fighting back for working people.

The Working Families Party has been a force in New Jersey for years.
We’ve notched some big wins in the Garden State, helping to overturn the corrupt “county line” ballot design system and electing a number of champions in just the past few years.
This is one of our biggest wins yet. And it’s only the beginning of what could be an even bigger year for our movement, not just in Jersey but across the country.
There’s a reason the other side works so hard to discredit our work and our champions.
The billionaire class knows that the biggest threat to their power is a unified, multi-racial working-class movement like the one we’re building with candidates like Analilia and other Working Families Party champions.
We need to channel the energy we are all feeling right now, and prepare for the fights ahead. Our plans in 2026 are ambitious, and it’s going to take all of us to pull it off.
If you can, split a donation between Analilia’s campaign and WFP to help send Analilia to Congress and fuel our work to elect leaders across the country who are accountable to working people, not the corporate donor class.
