Background

Biography

Analilia Mejia was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on August 19, 1977. She earned a B.A. from Rutgers University in 2000 and later an M.P.A.P. and an M.L.E.R. from the same university. She worked as a professional advocate; her House biography says she was director of the New Jersey Working Families Alliance.

Mejia was on the campaign staff of Senator Robert Menendez in 2012 and of the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders from 2019 to 2020, then joined the transition team for President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. In 2021 she was deputy director of the Women's Bureau at the U.S. Department of Labor. Elected as a Democrat to the 119th Congress by special election to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Representative Mikie Sherrill, she began House service on April 16, 2026, and serves on the Committee on Homeland Security and the Committee on Small Business.
