Adam Hamawy has pulled ahead as the frontrunner in New Jersey’s 12th congressional district Democratic primary, driven by his campaign surpassing $1 million in total fundraising and a May 5-7 internal poll placing him at 19 percent support in a crowded field. A pro-Palestine super PAC’s multi-million-dollar television ad campaign has accelerated his visibility and momentum, while endorsements from progressive congressional figures have consolidated backing among key donor networks and activist groups. In contrast, Susan Altman, Brad Cohen, and state Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson each poll in the low double digits and trail substantially in resources, leaving little time for them to close the gap before the June 2 vote. Trader pricing reflects these late-cycle advantages in name recognition and organizational strength across the splintered contest.
