Mejia and Hathaway in NJ House race

Mejia, a former campaign aide to Senator Bernie Sanders, has focused her platform on affordability and healthcare reform.

Hathaway, a local councilman, has attempted to distance himself from President Trump's more controversial policies to appeal to suburban voters.

The race is being closely watched as a bellwether for the upcoming midterm elections.

Both candidates have spent millions on advertising in a district that has trended blue in recent years.
