据决策台总部（Decision Desk HQ）预测，民主党人亚当·哈马维将赢得代表新泽西州第12国会选区的空缺席位，使这个稳固的蓝色选区继续由民主党掌控。
Democrat Adam Hamawy is projected to win an open seat representing New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ, keeping the safe blue seat in Democratic hands.
哈马维是一名外科医生和前陆军医生，轻松击败了共和党人、律师格雷格·梅尔，赢得了接替退休众议员邦妮·沃森·科尔曼（邦妮·沃森·科尔曼，新泽西州民主党）的竞选。
Hamawy, a surgeon and former Army physician, easily defeated Republican Gregg Mele, an attorney, to win the race to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.).
此事在意料之中，因为沃森·科尔曼作为众议院有影响力的进步派声音，在2024年连任竞选中以25个百分点的优势轻松获胜。哈马维今年早些时候在民主党提名的拥挤初选中胜出。
This was expected as Watson Coleman, an influential progressive voice in the House, easily won her 2024 reelection bid by 25 points. Hamawy prevailed in a crowded primary field for the Democratic nomination earlier this year.
他此前在2024年曾引起关注，当时他是一群在以色列关闭拉法边境口岸后被困在加沙的医生之一。
He had gained attention previously in 2024, as he was among a group of physicians trapped in Gaza when Israel closed the Rafah border crossing.
参议员塔米·达克沃思（伊利诺伊州民主党）曾介入帮助他和其他人脱困，她将哈马维视为在2004年其直升机在伊拉克被击落后救了她性命的人。哈马维将成为新泽西州第一位穆斯林国会议员。
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), who credits Hamawy with saving her life after her helicopter was shot down in Iraq in 2004, intervened to help him and others get out. Hamawy will be New Jersey’s first Muslim congressman.
