Mejia, a former top campaign aide to democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, was projected by the Associated Press to win the race for New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District shortly after polls closed at 8 p.m.

Mejia was endorsed by “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and backs so-called “Medicare for all” and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
