THE STEADY STATE ENDORSES ANALILIA MEJIA FOR NEW JERSEY’S 11TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
WASHINGTON — The Steady State, an organization of more than 450 former national security, intelligence, diplomatic, military, law enforcement, and homeland security officials, today endorsed Hon. Analilia Mejia for New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District.
Analilia Mejia represents New Jersey’s Eleventh Congressional District and is a lifelong organizer and advocate for working families. Born and raised in New Jersey as the daughter of Colombian and Dominican immigrants, she worked as a union organizer, led the New Jersey Working Families Alliance, served in the U.S. Department of Labor, and later helped lead Popular Democracy before being elected to Congress. In Congress, Mejia has begun building a homeland security profile through her service on the House Homeland Security Committee, alongside her work on affordability, labor protections, voting rights, anti-corruption, and support for New Jersey families.
Analilia Mejia demonstrates a consistent commitment to the rule of law, supports nonpartisan oversight and accountability of the Executive Branch, exhibits a substantive understanding of the national security challenges facing the country, and upholds the democratic norms and ethical standards of public service that the organization's criteria require.
“Analilia Mejia has spent her career focused on accountability, effective government, and ensuring that public institutions work for the people they serve. Her position on the Homeland Security Committee gives her an important opportunity to apply those principles to some of the federal government’s most consequential responsibilities,” said Steven Cash, Executive Director of The Steady State.
