Endorsement: Analilia Mejía for Congress (NJ‑11)

This is Endorsement #13 — for Analilia Mejía, running for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District (NJ‑11).

Election note: this is a special election — Election Day is Thursday, February 5, 2026.

Her message is blunt in a way more candidates need to be: “blue no matter who” isn’t enough — we need unbought leadership that will fight the oligarchy and make the economy work for working people.

She’s a Jersey candidate with a working‑family story: her mom landing a union job changed everything — and Analilia has spent years fighting for wins like the $15 minimum wage and paid sick days in New Jersey.

Why this endorsement

• Unbought, unbossed energy. A candidate who doesn’t do the “don’t ask for much” politics that keeps working families stuck.
• Pro‑worker track record. Rooted in fights for concrete material gains like wages and paid leave.
• Willing to confront the right — and the donors. Not just opposition to Trumpism, but opposition to the money/power structure that enables it.

If you’re in or near NJ‑11 — or you just want to back more unbought candidates nationwide — consider donating or signing up to volunteer.
