Malinowski Concedes to Mejía in NJ Special House Primary

Former Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.) conceded the Democratic primary for a special election to the U.S. House of Representatives in New Jersey to Analilia Mejía, a progressive political activist, on Feb. 10. Mejía led the field with 21.9 percent of the vote in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District, which is northwest of the New York metropolitan area and includes the town of Parsippany. Malinowski, who previously represented the 7th district until 2023, won 27.7 percent of the vote. Mejía has not yet been declared the winner, but the race was effectively over after Malinowski publicly conceded. Mejía acknowledged her victory with a GIF image posted on social media of the Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny at the 68th Grammy Awards....
