Former Rep. Tom Malinowski conceded his loss to Analilia Mejia in the New Jersey special election for the congressional seat Gov. Mikie Sherill left.

Analilia Mejia benefited from her steadfast opposition to ICE to win a district previously held by a moderate.

The moderate Democratic candidate conceded in the nail-biter of a race, with progressive Analilia Mejia leading by fewer than 1,000 votes so far.
