1199SEIU celebrates Analilia Mejia’s victory in NJ-11 primary

Statement of Andy Cassagnol, Executive Vice President of 1199SEIU New Jersey:

“We are beyond proud of the 1199SEIU healthcare workers who tirelessly knocked on doors, called up their neighbors, and did everything in their power to get out the vote for Analilia Mejia in this primary. This was truly a grassroots-powered campaign, showing what working people can accomplish when we unite behind candidates who uncompromisingly champion the needs of our communities.

We are excited to carry this momentum to the general election in November, knowing that Analilia will be a tremendous member of Congress who brings decades of organizing experience on behalf of New Jersey families to the halls of Washington, DC, to fight for an agenda of affordability, healthcare, and protecting our democracy."
