Adam Hamawy leads the crowded Democratic primary for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, an open seat following Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman’s retirement, with traders assigning him an 82.5% implied probability. His commanding fundraising advantage—nearly $1.1 million raised through the cycle, more than double any rival—has established him as the clear frontrunner ahead of the June 2 primary. Recent campaign finance reports released May 22 reinforced this edge, while endorsements from progressive organizations and figures including Sens. Bernie Sanders and Tammy Duckworth have further consolidated support. Other candidates such as Susan Altman, Brad Cohen, and Verlina Reynolds-Jackson hold county-level backing or prior electoral experience but trail substantially in resources and visibility. The primary’s short timeline and the district’s Democratic lean limit the scope for late shifts.
