Adam Hamawy, Ex-Volunteer Doctor in Gaza, Wins NJ House Primary Calling for End to Israeli Aid

We speak with Dr. Adam Hamawy, the former U.S. Army combat surgeon who just won the Democratic nomination in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District. He is now the heavy favorite to win the Democratic-leaning district in November and, if elected, would become New Jersey’s first Muslim member of Congress. Hamawy is an outspoken advocate for Palestinian rights and volunteered in Gaza during Israel’s genocidal assault on the territory. He has been endorsed by prominent progressives like Senator Bernie Sanders and Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as well as Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth, who credits Hamawy with saving her life after her helicopter was shot down in Iraq in 2004. “I was running on something very simple: that we should be spending on healthcare, not bombs,” Hamawy tells Democracy Now!, criticizing the $1 trillion Pentagon budget. “We need to be spending some of that right here at home to restore our nation, to fund universal healthcare like Medicare for All, to fund tuition-free public college, to rebuild our roads and bridges, to address the housing crisis.”

#JusticeDemocrats (JD) is endorsing two new candidates on Monday, throwing its weight behind #SaikatChakrabarty in San Francisco and #AdamHamawy in New Jersey. Both candidates, for their own reasons, threaten to have outsized importance if they make it to #Congress, and both are running in open seats vacating by a retiring Democrat.

Chakrabarti was himself a co-founder of JD and went on to be the first chief of staff to [AOC]. Chakrabarti was driven out of Washington by Speaker #NancyPelosi, who objected to his hard-charging approach, which had included helping to organize an occupation of #Pelosi’s office during freshman orientation.

[...] Chakrabarti is also unusual among #Democrats in presenting a full-spectrum #populist economic agenda...
