Dr. Adam Hamawy for Congress (NJ-12)

By ALL, Endorsement, NJ

Dr. Adam Hamawy for Congress (NJ-12)

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Dr. Adam Hamawy for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th District — a lifelong public servant, veteran, and physician who has dedicated his career to saving lives, not serving corporate interests.

Dr. Hamawy’s story is rooted in service. An immigrant who grew up in New Jersey, he worked his way through Rutgers on an ROTC scholarship, joined the New Jersey Army National Guard, and became a combat trauma surgeon in the U.S. Army, ultimately rising to the rank of Lt. Colonel. 

He treated victims on 9/11, saved lives on the battlefield in Iraq — including now-Senator Tammy Duckworth — and has spent more than three decades providing care in war zones and disaster areas around the world.

But what sets Dr. Hamawy apart is not just his service — it’s what he has learned from it.

From Iraq to Gaza, he has witnessed firsthand the devastating human cost of endless war and a foreign policy driven by politics and profit rather than humanity. At the same time, he has treated patients here at home in New Jersey who struggle to access basic care in a broken healthcare system. That contrast has shaped his mission: to fight for healthcare, not bombs.

Dr. Hamawy is running a truly people-powered campaign grounded in bold progressive values. He supports Medicare for All to guarantee healthcare as a human right. He is committed to ending inhumane immigration policies, including abolishing ICE. And he is fighting to unrig an economy that puts billionaires and corporations ahead of working people.

Unlike many in Washington, Dr. Hamawy cannot be bought. His campaign is rooted in service, integrity, and a deep commitment to human dignity — values he has lived out not just in words, but in action across decades.

At a time when establishment politicians continue to uphold a status quo that fails working families, Dr. Hamawy represents the kind of leadership our movement was built to elect: courageous, compassionate, and unapologetically committed to justice.

New Jersey’s 12th District deserves a representative who understands what it means to serve — and who will fight every day to deliver for the people, not corporate donors or political insiders.

Dr. Adam Hamawy has spent his life saving lives. Now, he’s ready to fight for them in Congress.

When we organize, we win.

Analilia Mejia Wins NJ-11 Primary

By ALL, Endorsement, NJ

A People-Powered Upset Victory, Now On to the General!

 

After a nail-biter vote count and being vastly outspent by big-money, establishment-backed opponents, Analilia Mejia has won the Democratic primary for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th District. She beat the machine. She beat the money. She won with people power.

From the beginning, Our Revolution proudly endorsed Analilia because she represents exactly the kind of bold, grassroots leadership our movement exists to elect. A former union organizer, she helped win a $15 minimum wage and paid sick days, and later as National Political Director for Bernie Sanders’ 2020 campaign, she helped build a nationwide movement to un-rig the economy and take on corporate power.

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Analilia in this race, and Bernie joined her for a rally on MLK Day as part of his Fight Oligarchy Tour. That movement energy carried her across the finish line against opponents backed by massive outside spending and political insiders.

Analilia didn’t run to play politics as usual — and voters responded. She ran on Medicare for All, climate action, labor rights, reproductive freedom, immigrant justice, and getting big money out of politics. She ran to take on the billionaire class and corporate lobbyists who have rigged the system — and to build a government that invests in We the People.

Now, Analilia advances to the April 16 special general election, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. NJ-11 has the opportunity to send a true progressive champion to Washington — someone rooted in organizing, accountable to working families, and unafraid to confront corporate power.

This victory proves what we already know:

When we organize, we win. ✊
