Congratulations 🎈the next America Muslim Congressman. He won the Primary by a Landslide.
🚨HE IS OUR HER0 for THE WORK HE DID in GAZA.
🎊🎉CONGRATULATIONS 🥳Dr Adam Hamawy.
“ A trauma surgeon, US Army veteran and former medical volunteer in Gaza, has emerged as a leading contender of Primary.
Hamawy launched his campaign after returning from a 2024 medical mission in Gaza, where he says he witnessed what he described as a genocide and later sought meetings with lawmakers in Washington to discuss conditions on the ground.
“I could only define it as a genocide, because I saw the bodies of the people that came in,” Hamawy said, adding that he did not want US tax dollars funding the violence he witnessed.
In the six months since entering the race, Hamawy has raised more than $1 million, the highest total among candidates in the crowded 12-way Democratic primary.
He has secured endorsements from prominent progressive figures including Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Tammy Duckworth. His platform includes Medicare for All, an arms embargo on Israel, sanctions on Israel, abolition of ICE, cancellation of medical and student debt, codification of abortion rights, and dismantling the Department of Homeland Security. If elected, Hamawy would become the first Muslim elected to represent New Jersey in Congress.
Born in Egypt and raised in New Jersey, Hamawy served as a combat surgeon in Iraq and was part of the medical team that saved Duckworth’s life after her helicopter was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade. During a 2024 medical mission to Ga-za, he spent nearly three weeks stranded after the Rafah crossing closed, working at the European Hospital in Khan Younis amid ongoing bombardment. His campaign has also faced scrutiny over his appearance as a defense witness in the 1995 trial of Omar Abdel-Rahman and his volunteer work in Bosnia during the 1990s. Hamawy has rejected criticism surrounding both issues, describing them as politically motivated attacks. “As a Muslim, they’re always going to find something to attack,” he said. “I’m used to this all my life.”
Bowman introduces Dr. Hamawy, to chants of his last name, and he gets up to tell his constituents: “We’ve made history!”
