Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey in the House, hours after her main opponent, Tom Malinowski, conceded.\u201cWhat we are hungry for is an America that sees all of us as human,\u201d Ms. Mejia told supporters at a news conference in Montclair, an affluent area of North Jersey where Ms. Sherrill lives with her family.\u201cA ZIP code,\u201d she added, \u201cdoes not protect us from rising violent authoritarianism.\u201dThe Associated Press has not officially declared a winner in the race. But Mr. Malinowski, who was battered by negative advertising from a pro-Israel group, congratulated Ms. Mejia for a \u201chard-won victory\u201d four days after polls closed on Thursday.\u201cAnalilia deserves unequivocal praise and credit for running a positive campaign and for inspiring so many voters on Election Day,\u201d Mr. Malinowski said in a statement, noting that he planned to support her in a special election in April against the Republican nominee, Joe Hathaway.On Tuesday, fewer than 900 votes separated the two top candidates, and election officials had said that they did not expect to finalize the count before the end of this week.Ms. Mejia is a former director of the state\u2019s Working Families alliance who left that job in 2019 to help run Senator Bernie Sanders\u2019s second presidential campaign. Mr. Sanders, a democratic socialist from Vermont, campaigned in New Jersey with Ms. Mejia, as did several other members of the Democratic Party\u2019s liberal flank during a compressed, two-month campaign. Ms. Sherrill did not endorse any of the 11 Democrats who competed to run for the congressional seat she vacated soon after being elected governor.The Democratic nominee will compete against Mr. Hathaway on April 16 to complete the final eight months of Ms. Sherrill\u2019s term in the 11th Congressional District, which includes parts of Morris, Essex and Passaic Counties. An election for a full, two-year term will be held in November.The district was redrawn after the 2020 census, making what was once a Republican-leaning seat far safer for Democrats. Ms. Sherrill was re-elected by a nearly 15-point margin in 2024, and the Cook Political Report has ranked the district a \u201csolid D.\u201dMs. Mejia, who worked in the Department of Labor during the Biden administration and helps to lead Popular Democracy, a grass-roots organization supporting minorities and low-income people, ran an energetic but lean campaign. She earned endorsements from prominent members of the Democratic Party\u2019s liberal icons but lagged far behind other front-runners in fund-raising. She embraced her underdog status in rousing speeches to crowds filled with young, working-class voters.\u201cWe said we would not be bossed and we would not be bought and that\u2019s why we won the day,\u201d she said on Tuesday.Mr. Malinowski, who represented a neighboring district in Congress until 2023, worked in the State Department during the Obama administration and as a director for Human Rights Watch. Seen as an authority on foreign policy, with high name recognition, Mr. Malinowski had raised the most in campaign contributions and was considered the candidate to beat.Then, in the final three weeks of the campaign, a super PAC affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee began flooding airwaves and mailboxes with attack ads aimed at Mr. Malinowski. The super PAC, United Democracy Project, spent at least $2.3 million trying to defeat him.Patrick Dorton, a spokesman for the organization, has said that its aim was winning a pro-Israel majority in Congress and electing representatives who will not place conditions on U.S. aid to the Jewish state.Ms. Mejia was the only candidate to say she believed Israel had committed genocide in Gaza. And if she wins in April, Ms. Mejia would be likely to join Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Representative Ayanna Pressley, who also campaigned with Ms. Mejia in New Jersey, in a left-leaning wing of the House known as \u201cthe squad.\u201dIn 2024, United Democracy spent roughly $24 million to help oust two of the group\u2019s other members, Jamaal Bowman of New York and Cori Bush of Missouri, according to AdImpact, a group that tracks political spending.Last week, Mr. Dorton maintained that the outcome was \u201can anticipated possibility.\u201d But the attack on Mr. Malinowski, a moderate lawmaker and longtime supporter of Israel, was criticized by many Jewish leaders as a flawed and cynical strategy that damaged the prospect of peace in the Middle East and faith in democracy.The negative ads funded by United Democracy made no mention of Israel. Instead, they mainly criticized Mr. Malinowski for a vote to authorize spending for immigration enforcement during President Trump\u2019s first term.Mr. Malinowski, who emigrated from Communist Poland as a 6-year-old and has railed against the president\u2019s policies, attempted to turn the barrage of negative advertising into a badge of honor, but on Tuesday said it had significantly influenced the race.\u201cI wish I could say today that this effort, which was meant to intimidate Democrats across the country, failed,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it did not.\u201d\u201cThe threat unlimited dark money poses to our democracy is far more significant than the views of a single member of Congress on Middle East policy,\u201d added Mr. Malinowski, whose seniority in Congress put him in line for a leadership position on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, if he had won.On the campaign trail, Ms. Mejia denounced the negative advertising, calling the attack against Mr. Malinowski a \u201cdisgusting tactic\u201d that had confused voters and flooded the airwaves with misinformation.But the commercials and mailers also elevated immigration as a salient topic just as opposition to Mr. Trump\u2019s immigration policies was intensifying in the weeks after federal agents shot and killed two people, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, in Minneapolis.Voter turnout surged. More people cast ballots in Thursday\u2019s race than voted in any Democratic congressional primary in New Jersey in 2024 \u2014 a presidential election year that featured a contested race for U.S. Senate.\u201cThat AIPAC fought Tom Malinowski \u2014 a longtime ally of Israel with a direct connection to the Holocaust and an expert in foreign policy and human rights \u2014 is not good,\u201d said Yael Bromberg, an election law lawyer and voting rights scholar whose family is from Israel. \u201cThat they did so by falsifying his immigrant rights\u2019 record is perhaps worse. That kind of campaign damages sustainable democracy.\u201dJeremy Ben-Ami, the founder and president of J Street, a left-leaning Jewish lobby group, said that AIPAC\u2019s \u201caggressive intervention here and elsewhere is alienating many who should be allies of the Jewish community and of Israel.\u201dMs. Mejia, of Glen Ridge, had focused on affordability as she campaigned, and she regularly noted her immigrant parents\u2019 struggles as they raised a family in nearby Elizabeth. She has called for abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and held campaign events that doubled as migrant rights teach-ins. Two days before the election, she joined students as they walked out of Bloomfield High School to protest actions by federal immigration agents in New Jersey.\u201cIt is shameful, shameful, my people, that those with power sit on their hands while working people are out in the streets armed with whistles, demanding justice,\u201d she told an audience in January, adding tartly: \u201cBraver than anything I ever see out of Congress.\u201dIn addition to Mr. Malinowski, the race included several other well-known candidates, including Tahesha Way, New Jersey\u2019s former lieutenant governor and secretary of state, and Brendan Gill, an Essex County commissioner who ran former Gov. Philip D. Murphy\u2019s first campaign.The race featured millions of dollars in spending by outside interest groups.Ms. Way, who benefited from an infusion of funds from outside groups, was running in third place as ballots were still being counted. Mr. Gill, who was endorsed by Mr. Murphy, was in fourth place.Maureen O\u2019Toole, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said the apparent victory by a left-leaning Democrat had opened a clear lane for Mr. Hathaway, the mayor of Randolph who was an aide to former Gov. Chris Christie.She said Ms. Mejia would \u201cturn New Jersey into a socialist hellscape.\u201dThe Democratic primary was seen as a preview of campaign tactics that could be replicated this fall in pivotal congressional midterm elections. And the millions of dollars in advertising by outside groups elevated what might have been an under-the-radar special election to a raucous showdown between factions within the Democratic Party.On Tuesday, supporters who stood with Ms. Mejia at the news conference led chants of \u201cabolish ICE\u201d and \u201ctax the rich\u201d before she began speaking.The support she earned in New Jersey, she said, went well beyond being a \u201cBernie girl.\u201d\u201cWe should be building policies,\u201d she said, \u201cthat are responsive to the needs of people,\u201d not corporate giants.\u201cWe need to center the needs of individuals.\u201dTracey Tully is a reporter for The Times who covers New Jersey, where she has lived for more than 20 years.A version of this article appears in print on Feb. 11, 2026, Section A, Page 18 of the New York edition with the headline: Progressive Organizer Declares Win in Primary For a Seat in New Jersey.
