The Latino Action Network (LAN) proudly congratulates Annalilia Mejia on her decisive victory in yesterday’s congressional race. This win marks a powerful moment for New Jersey and for communities who have long fought for representation rooted in justice, equity, and dignity.
Annalilia Mejia’s campaign was grounded in strong progressive values, a deep commitment to family, and an unwavering dedication to protecting immigrant communities. Throughout her campaign, she made clear that she stands with working families, believes in expanding opportunity, and is committed to building a more inclusive and just society.
Importantly, Mejia has been a vocal opponent of harmful immigration enforcement practices, including aggressive actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that have instilled fear in immigrant communities. Her leadership reflects a clear understanding that public policy must prioritize human dignity, community trust, and fairness.
The Latino Action Network was proud to endorse Annalilia Mejia early in her campaign, recognizing her as a principled leader who embodies the values of our community. Her victory affirms that voters are demanding leadership that is compassionate, courageous, and committed to justice.
“We could not think of a better person to represent New Jersey in Congress,” said Javier Robles, President of the Latino Action Network. “Annalilia Mejia brings integrity, vision, and a deep connection to the people she will serve. Her leadership will make a meaningful difference for families across our state and beyond.”
The Latino Action Network will continue to work alongside candidates and elected officials who share a vision of America rooted in equity and justice—not hate and fear. We remain committed to building coalitions that uplift our communities, defend civil rights, and ensure that every resident is treated with dignity and respect.
LAN looks forward to working alongside Congresswoman-elect Mejia to advance policies that protect immigrant rights, strengthen families, and uplift all communities.
