WATCH: Sparks Fly At NJ-11 Congress Debate Between Mejia, Hathaway

The candidates for New Jersey’s 11th congressional district, Democratic incumbent Analilia Mejia and Republican challenger Joe Hathaway, squared off Monday night at St. Elizabeth University in Morristown, trading sharp words on the economy, health care, and the Trump administration. Mejia focused on the influence of big money in politics while Hathaway pushed back on Democratic leadership and called for lower costs and a return to “sanity.” Independent Alan Bond was left off the invite list but shared his takes with Patch separately.
