2025 New Jersey gubernatorial election

Analilia Mejia is consolidating the progressive lane and has some momentum in the primary to replace Mikie Sherrill in Congress. She's racked up some big labor endorsements this week from the larger, more progressive unions, and she made some news calling to shut down Delaney Hall and abolish ICE after it was announced that someone there died in ICE custody. From the article: Tired of “machine politicians?” Vote for Analilia Mejia, she says. Mejia – a Glen Ridge resident and longtime social justice activist in North Jersey – is one of several candidates running to replace Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill in the state’s 11th congressional district, which includes towns in Essex, Morris and Passaic counties. “We're done settling for machine politicians,” Mejia said after last weekend’s rally. “This is our change for something new.” According to Mejia, her agenda includes: - “Hold Trump and his allies accountable for their corruption” - “Taxing billionaires and big corporations to unrig the economy” - “Guaranteeing universal health care and childcare for every American” - “Fixing and funding our crumbling infrastructure” Mejia also says that she is “rejecting corporate PAC money” during her run for Congress.

Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who called her a “consistent fighter for the people of New Jersey.” As her congressional campaign continues, Mejia has weighed in on controversial issues such as federal immigration, calling to “abolish” ICE after a detainee died at Delaney Hall in Newark on Dec. 12. “This is a rogue agency that’s committing human rights violations on a daily basis,” Mejia alleged. “You can’t reform that or fix it with more oversight.” More on reddit.com

Coming from outside the US, who the hell came up with the word gubernatorial. I love it, but I don't think I'll ever get to use it in the UK. More on reddit.com
