NJ-12: Hamawy may be the best-funded Democrat after nearly $550k 1st quarter

Adam Hamawy has raised nearly $550,000 since launching his bid for the 12th congressional district in late January, his campaign announced today, further establishing the first-time candidate as one of the open district’s leading contenders.

Most of Hamawy’s Democratic primary opponents have not yet announced their own fundraising numbers from the 1st quarter, which ended just yesterday, but Hamawy is likely to be one of the best-funded candidates – if not the best-funded candidate – in the race. Another skilled fundraiser, Sue Altman, announced earlier today that she’d raised over $400,000 thus far.

“We have the momentum in this race,” Hamawy said in a statement. “From our field-leading all-volunteer petition collection, to our endorsements from leading progressive groups like Justice Democrats, and our consistent lead in publicly-announced fundraising, we are in a strong position to win this election. This district is hungry for leadership that will call for healthcare, not bombs, to abolish ICE, and to unrig this economy that is only working for those at the top.”

Hamawy’s campaign said that more than 70% of the contributions they received came from New Jersey donors.
