Andy Kim campaigns in Morristown for Analilia Mejia as NJ 11 special election nears

By Marion Filler and Kevin Coughlin With just days left in a fast-moving special election to fill the 11th District congressional seat vacated by Gov. Mikie Sherrill, Democrats are scrambling to turn out voters — and signaling that the outcome could echo far beyond Morris County. Democratic candidate Analilia Mejia got a weekend boost from U.S. Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ), who rallied volunteers in Morristown and cast Thursday’s contest as a nationally watched test of political momentum. A RACE WITH NATIONAL EYES Kim came straight from Washington to Morris County Democratic headquarters on Saturday, urging supporters to treat the unusual Thursday election as a bellwether heading into the midterms. “This is the only race that is happening next week on a Thursday,” Kim said, predicting that “people around the country are going to be paying attention… parsing who has the energy… going into this incredibly important midterm election.” Mejia faces Republican Joe Hathaway, a Randolph councilman and former Chris Christie administration official, in a race both parties are casting in stark terms. Kim also injected a note of urgency tied to national events, referencing what he called an “insane” message from President Donald Trump threatening to wipe out Iranian civilization, and warning that Americans cannot stay on the sidelines.

Photo by Marion Filler “It’s about… attacking what it means to be American… and us needing to say, ‘No, not in our name. Not on our watch,’” he said. He urged volunteers to channel that concern into turnout. “All of us have responsibility, not just on election day, but every day,” Kim said, calling the contest “incredibly important for this district… but also incredibly important nationally.” The 11th District spans much of Morris County — including Greater Morristown — as well as portions of Essex and Passaic counties. Kim praised Mejia as part of a “new generation of leadership,” citing her background as a community organizer and her role in Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign. He cited Mejia’s fight for a $15 minimum wage and her opposition to Christie on behalf of teachers and state workers, and contrasted Mejia’s refusal of corporate money with what he called the billionaire‑funded politics of President Trump. “When you’re looking at this East Wing ballroom that this president’s tried to build… you want to know who’s funding it? Billionaires and corporations. You want to know who’s not taking corporate money…? …While I’m here campaigning for Analilia, (Vice President J.D. Vance) is out there in Hungary campaigning for Viktor Orbán.” ‘YOU ARE HANDING PEOPLE HOPE’ Morris County Democratic Chair Darcy Draeger cast Mejia’s bid as part of a familiar arc in the district, likening it to the early campaigns of Kim and Sherrill, both of whom overcame skepticism to win office. “This is a real transition,” Draeger said of the post-Sherrill era. “Transitions are hard. They’re messy, and this transition for CD 11 is happening at a national moment.” Congressional candidate Analilia Mejia addresses volunteers in Morristown, April 11, 2026. Photo by Marion Filler Inside headquarters, Mejia leaned into the language of organizing, urging volunteers to focus on door-knocking and voter contact in the campaign’s final stretch. “You are handing people power… you are handing people hope,” she said. She also framed the race in broader terms, linking it to democratic participation and shared governance. “When I go to Congress, we all go to Congress,” Mejia said. With Thursday’s vote approaching, both sides are sharpening their closing arguments: At a campaign forum Saturday in Randolph, Hathaway labeled Mejia a “far left…out of touch” candidate, while Mejia and her allies are urging voters to see the race as a referendum on who holds power in American politics. For Democrats gathered in Morristown, Kim’s closing message was blunt — and urgent. “Go vote,” one organizer told the room. MORE COVERAGE OF THE DISTRICT 11 SPECIAL RACE

Commentary: Jewish voters are not a monolith in NJ-11 congressional race

By Tamar Wyschogrod Being a Jewish voter in America at this moment is a complicated business. We’re a tiny sliver of the population – about 2.4% at last count – yet we find ourselves at the heart of many issues that are front and center in American politics. Like Rorschach inkblots, we are different things to different people, depending on the lens through which they see us. Take Joe Hathaway, the Republican candidate running to replace Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District. In an appearance Monday night at Temple Ner Tamid in Bloomfield, he was asked for his thoughts on combating antisemitism. He responded with three things he’d do “for the Jewish community.” First, he said he’d codify in federal law the working definition of antisemitism written by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) – a definition that was not created for legislative purposes and whose lead drafter, Kenneth Stern, says is being weaponized by the right in order to suppress free speech. Many Jews don’t want that. Second, he said he’d decouple the grant program that provides funding for security at Jewish schools and synagogues from requirements to cooperate with ICE and to refrain from DEI programming – but notably, he did not denounce those requirements outright, merely dismissing them as “a different conversation.” Many Jews oppose ICE and support DEI programming. And third, he said, “Israel is our lone democratic ally in the Middle East and we should stand in lockstep with them, I believe, every step of the way,” implying that anything less than unconditional support for Israel constitutes antisemitism. Many Jews do not require or want lockstep support for Israel. Hathaway says what he thinks the Jewish community, which he sees as a monolith, wants to hear. Like Donald Trump, he assumes that Jews put self-interest and support for Israel above everything – and that they will vote for him if he promises to give them what he thinks they want. But Jews are not a monolith. We are individuals, and many of us reject the idea that other groups must sacrifice their rights for our safety, or that our Jewishness requires unwavering loyalty to the state of Israel no matter what it does. In fact, by stereotyping us in this way, Hathaway is practicing the antisemitism he purports to stand against. That’s why I, like many Jews in NJ 11, am voting for Democrat Analilia Mejia for Congress in the special election on April 16. Mejia is a thoughtful candidate who takes principled stances that are not subject to alteration for the sake of election-year expediency. She values human life above all else, in line with the Jewish concept of pikuach nefesh – the idea that one must do whatever is needed to preserve human life. She recognizes that the only way to protect our democracy from authoritarianism is to unconditionally defend human rights at home and abroad. She affirms that certain lines must never be crossed – not by the Trump administration, the Israeli government, Hamas, or anyone else. On Tuesday evening, Mejia also came to Temple Ner Tamid, and she gave some very different answers. She spoke of the scourge of antisemitism and the need to call it out, no matter the source. At the same time, she didn’t shy away from criticizing the state of Israel just because she was speaking to a Jewish audience, let alone pander to them with calls for unconditional support. Speaking of Gaza, Mejia said, “It’s too much for me to bear. It’s too much for me to stay silent. And honestly, I learned it from my own Jewish teachers and mentors and friends, who as a child taught me, silence is complicity.” That is exactly the lesson that my Jewish teachers and mentors taught me, too, which is why I speak out against the war on Gaza. Whether described as genocide, ethnic cleansing, collective punishment or war crimes, Israel’s actions are indefensible, excessive responses to Hamas atrocities. It’s not just possible, but entirely necessary to acknowledge two truths at the same time: That the Oct. 7 attack perpetrated by Hamas against mostly Jewish Israelis, in which 1,200 people died and some 250 were taken hostage, was a crime against humanity; and the Israeli response, which flattened Gaza and killed some 72,000 people, mostly Palestinian civilians, was an excessive reaction that violated moral boundaries. While many American Jews balk at the idea of going so far as to call it genocide, Israel’s actions do meet the definition codified in international law: “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.” But whether or not we are comfortable with the word, a growing number of American Jews will not remain silent in the face of horrific acts perpetrated in our name. At the same time, Mejia affirmed that Jews should not be held collectively responsible for the actions of the Netanyahu government, any more than Palestinians should be for the actions of Hamas. It’s vital to call out injustices committed by the Israeli government without implicating all Jews, she explained: “I can see that, even in denouncing actions, there’s a duty to ensure that we aren’t collapsing (two different things) – because I know, it does create conditions in which the unscrupulous and the cynical will grab it and turn it into an accusation or harm towards an entire community.” Now that the Trump administration has joined with Israel in launching an all-out war against Iran, with Israel also attacking Lebanon, risking world war, it is more urgent than ever for American Jews to stand up and say, with force and clarity: Not in our name. We will not send another Republican to Washington to rubber-stamp this madness. In Analilia Mejia, we have a candidate guided by a moral compass that aligns with Jewish values: Seeking peace, repairing the world, and valuing human life above all else. That’s why I started a group called Jews for Analilia, which can be found on Facebook. For those of us horrified by the authoritarianism of the Trump regime, whose Jewish values demand universal justice and human rights, Analilia Mejia is the only choice for Congress in NJ 11.
