Newark--April 16, 2026--New Jersey Citizen Action (NJCA) congratulates Analilia Mejia on her victory in the Congressional District 11 special election today. In a press statement, NJCA Executive Director Dena Mottola Jaborska said:

“We offer our heartiest congratulations to Representative-elect Analilia Mejia on her victory. Over the past 15 months we've seen our communities and families disrupted, an unjust and unnecessary war launched, and working families struggle with even higher costs as they are priced out of essentials like healthcare, housing, childcare, and groceries. New Jersey voters have chosen a lawmaker who will fight for an economy that works for everyone, and push back against the Trump administration's assault on our democracy, our communities, and our families.

"As a longtime organizer for social and economic justice, Analilia understands our country needs more than just robust opposition to the Trump administration. For too long, our political system and economy have been rigged in favor of the ultra-wealthy and big corporations, and working families everywhere are calling for change. Analilia is the lawmaker who will meet this moment. We look forward to working alongside her to bring the same impactful, groundbreaking reforms to Congress for working families that we worked to bring to New Jersey. And we look forward to continuing to support her in the upcoming elections this year.”
