[ [link removed] ]New York Times most recent vote count has Analilia Mejia ahead.
Last night, progressives had a HUGE upset in New Jersey!
Bernie Sanders’ former political director and nationally-respected
organizer Analilia Mejia defeated AIPAC and the political establishment in
a special primary election for Congress.
She was told to not even try. But with 91% of the vote in, she is on top
and her lead is growing!
I was there in my home state – knocking doors, giving a rally speech to
volunteers, and at the victory party. As Analilia came from 2,000 votes
behind to 500 ahead, it was ELECTRIC!
In her speech, Analilia said, "This moment calls on every one of us to be
big and bold and brave…What happens in Jersey cannot stay in
Jersey." That’s why we are announcing new congressional endorsements in
key districts.

establishment), do something about it right now. Donate to help Analilia
defeat the Republican in April AND help amazing progressives defeat the
establishment in March primaries in Illinois, Texas, California, Michigan,
and North Carolina! Chip in here!
Last night was our second big victory in 2 weeks! Progressive Christian
Menefee (TX-18) was seated in Congress this week and brought the
Republican majority down to 1 vote!
Early wins for progressives set the tone for the entire Democratic Party
this year. Reporters and candidates are looking to know whether Democratic
voters believe "any blue will do" – no matter how boring or corporate
funded – or whether Democrats will fight for families against powerful
interests from Trump to ICE to corporate greed.
Analilia ran the Working Families organization in New Jersey. As Harris
County Attorney, Christian Menefee has sued corporations, special
interests, and Trump, and won real results for working people. Robert
Peters got his start organizing with local Chicago organizations and still
works with those groups in office today. As Mayor of Evanston, Daniel Biss
is going after ICE, standing on front lines with protestors, ordering
Evanston Police not to cooperate, and holding "Know Your Rights" events.

the trajectory of our country and the Democratic Party, you can right now.
Chip in to help Analilia finish the job and help more amazing progressives
win upcoming primaries!
Nida Allam (NC-04) is a fearless progressive who is challenging
corporate-backed incumbent Democrat Valerie Foushee. Foushee was AIPAC’s
single largest investment when she defeated Allam in their first contest
in 2022, and she has continued to accept corporate PAC and special
interest money. Nida is a leading advocate on affordable housing,
universal healthcare, living wage, and more.
Randy Villegas (CA-22) is an educator, activist, and proud son of
immigrants who is challenging incumbent Republican David Valadao in what
is considered to be one of the most competitive flip opportunities in the
country. Randy’s opponents have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars
from corporations and special interests, while Randy has refused that
money and centered his vision for workers and his community.
Donavan McKinney (MI-13) is a state legislator and union organizer
challenging incumbent Democrat Shri Thanedar. While Donavan has been
fighting for clean air and water, education, and public transit for his
district and the people of Michigan, Thanedar has been taking money from
corporations and special interests to largely ignore his constituents.
Thanks for standing strong and doing your part.
