NJ-11: Sanders will come to N.J. to rally with Mejia (D)

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont)’s “Fighting Oligarchy” tour is coming to New Jersey, and his endorsed candidate in the special election for New Jersey’s 11th congressional district, Analilia Mejia, will be making a starring appearance.

The rally will be held at a performing arts center in Wayne, on the edge of the 11th district, on January 19 – Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Mejia was the national political director on Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign, and Sanders endorsed her campaign for Congress the day she entered the race. She’s since made her support from national progressives, and her own left-wing stances, a core part of her argument in a crowded Democratic primary full of well-known candidates.

“I am so honored to stand shoulder to shoulder with Senator Sanders in the fight to take power away from the rich and powerful and back into the hands of working people,” Mejia said today in a statement.
