Adam Hamawy, a Progressive Democrat, Wins House Primary in New Jersey
The former Army combat surgeon won with 27.4% of the vote after drawing backing from top progressives and a $2 million ad push.
- On Tuesday, progressive Democrat Dr. Adam Hamawy won the primary in New Jersey's 12th Congressional District, defeating 12 candidates to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman.
- Hamawy's campaign gained momentum through endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, alongside a $2 million advertising pledge from the super PAC American Priorities.
- Media reports scrutinized Hamawy's 1995 testimony for Omar Abdel-Rahman, the "Blind Sheikh" convicted of terror plots; Hamawy dismissed the attacks as outdated "tropes" and said he was targeted because of his background.
- Beyond the controversy, Hamawy leveraged his experience as a U.S. Army combat surgeon and medical relief work in Gaza, campaigning on Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and opposing military aid to Israel.
- Hamawy will face Republican Gregg Mele in the November general election; given the district's deep-blue lean, he is expected to win, potentially becoming the first Muslim to hold national office representing New Jersey.
