The former Army combat surgeon is running on a platform of Medicare for All, ending forever wars, and taking on corporate interests to make life more affordable for New Jersey families

TRENTON, NJ — The New Jersey Working Families Party today announced its endorsement of Dr. Adam Hamawy to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District. The party pointed to Dr. Hamawy’s record of public service and his commitments to providing healthcare for all, ending forever wars, and taking on corporate special interests.

“Working families need more leaders in Washington who are going to stand up to corporate interests and do what’s best for us, and Dr. Adam Hamawy is ready for that fight. We’re so proud to endorse him for Congress,” said Antoinette Miles, State Director, New Jersey Working Families Party. “Dr. Hamawy has spent his career showing up where people need it most, from emergency rooms here at home to combat zones across the globe. He’s a veteran who will vote to end forever wars, and he’s a doctor who understands healthcare is a human right. We’re proud to stand alongside Dr. Hamawy in this fight and we’re committed to getting him elected this November.”

Dr. Hamaw, who served as an Army combat surgeon in Iraq, won the June 2 Democratic primary over 12 other candidates with support from U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

The general election is on November 3, 2026.
