NJDSC CHAIR JONES STATEMENT ON MEJIA VICTORY

TRENTON, NJ – New Jersey Democratic State Committee Chairman Leroy J. Jones, Jr. released the following statement congratulating Analilia Mejia on her victory in tonight’s special election to represent New Jersey’s 11th congressional district: 

 

“Analilia Mejia has always been on the frontlines fighting for our Democratic values as a volunteer, an organizer and a believer in what we can accomplish when Democrats stand together.  Her victory tonight is a testament to what can happen when we believe in ourselves and remain true to our values, and when we simply refuse to back down.  Analilia will be a welcome addition to the fight against the oppressive and dangerous policies put forward by the Trump White House and MAGA Republicans and we look forward to seeing all she can accomplish as a valued member of our New Jersey congressional delegation.”
