2026 battleground election
Ballotpedia identified the June 2 Democratic primary for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District as a battleground election. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.
Thirteen candidates are running in the Democratic primary for New Jersey's 12th Congressional District on June 2, 2026. Susan Altman (D), Brad Cohen (D), Adam Hamawy (D), Adrian Mapp (D), Verlina Reynolds-Jackson (D), Shanel Robinson (D), and Jay Vaingankar (D) lead in endorsements and media attention.
Incumbent Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D) is not running for re-election. As of May 12, 2026, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter and Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rated the general election as Solid Democratic. Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball rated it as Safe Democratic.
Rider University's Micah Rasmussen said that Watson Colemon's retirement and the historical precedent that the incumbent president's party typically loses seats in the U.S. House of Representatives in midterm elections have led to a large number of candidates running in the Democratic primary.[1]
According to the New Jersey Globe’s Joey Fox, the seven noteworhty candidates mentioned above all have viable paths to winning the nomination. Fox also wrote that Cohen, Mapp, Reynolds-Jackson, and Robinson have support in the areas that they represented in their elected positions heading into the Democratic primary.[2] The Democratic Committees in the four counties the district covers have endorsed different candidates. According to the New Jersey Globe's Zach Blackburn, the split in committee endorsements means that "[n]o candidate has dominant establishment support."[3]
Below is a background on each candidate. To read more about how Ballotpedia defines noteworthy candidates, click here.

Campaign website
Reynolds-Jackson's campaign website stated the following:
Priorities
Protecting Democracy
Fighting against Trump‘s attacks on our democracy by spearheading the John Lewis Empowerment Act of New Jersey, a landmark legislation to protect and expand voting rights.
Verlina’s legislation establishes clear, statewide protections to ensure every eligible New Jerseyan can participate fully and fairly in elections and increases language access where required. In Congress, she will fight Trump’s anti-democratic Save Act again.
Affordability
Protect New Jersey families against Trump's harmful fiscal policies. Driving for real progress on the cost-of-living crisis that is squeezing New Jersey families.
As Assemblywoman, Verlina signed into law legislation expanding eligibility for resident individuals under the New Jersey Earned Income Tax Credit program, and in Congress, she will continue to fight Trump’s policies that make everyday needs unaffordable.
Paid Family Leave
Fight for policies that expand access so more workers can be there when their families need them most.
Verlina’s legislation gave employees the right to be reinstated to employment after taking family temporary disability leave benefits or unpaid family leave, and she will stand up to Trump and his union-busting policies
Medical Debt Relief and Healthcare for All
Protect families from the crushing burden of medical debt while working for a healthcare system for all.
Verlina's bill, titled the “Louisa Carman Medical Debt Relief Act,” prohibits a medical creditor or medical debt collector from reporting a patient’s medical debt to any consumer reporting agency and she is ready to go to Washington to fix our broken healthcare system.
Due Process and Immigrant Protections
Standing firm against Trump's mass detention in the deportation machine and fighting to ensure rights, dignity, and constitutional protections for all.
Verlina sponsored legislation that requires law enforcement officers to reveal their facial identity during certain public interactions and to present sufficient identification prior to arresting or detaining a person. She is ready to hold Trump accountable for his government overreach.
Criminal Justice Reform
Champion jury, juvenile justice, and anti- mass incarceration reforms.
Authored the Restorative and Transformative Justice for Youth Programs that assists youths released from juvenile facilities with reintegration into the community and works to help them avoid further involvement with the youth justice system.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
Below you can find the scorecards found for the New Jersey State Legislature in 2025.
