Mejia’s First 100 Days in Congress | Jersey News
Description
Congresswoman Analilia Mejia just hit 100 days in office and called the experience “jarring,” saying she expected more real debate on big issues like war, housing, healthcare, and gas prices—but hasn’t seen it. A Democrat and former union organizer, she’s already co-sponsored over 80 bills, pushing for Medicare for All, voting rights, universal childcare, and Supreme Court term limits. She also launched a task force on the Fourteenth Amendment amid heated immigration debates, visiting the Delaney Hall detention center repeatedly to voice alarm over conditions. Her opponent, Joe Hathaway, calls her an activist and a failure, accusing her of supporting “radical socialist” policies. Mejia counters that her record—including backing the 21st Century Road to Housing Act—shows practical solutions, not ideology, and dismisses the attacks as personal.
