James Gee, longtime Democratic Party operative, founding principal of Stono Public Affairs, and an ally of Analilia Mejia throughout the Democratic Primary, released the following statement upon the primary's resolution earlier today:

"Analilia's career has prepared her to be a great advocate for New Jersey in Congress," said Gee. "Despite getting in late, being outspent and without any formal party backing, she prevailed, which confirms her appeal to the people of the district. Post eliminating the line, Analilia's victory is representative of a new era in New Jersey politics.
