Receipts, cash on hand, and outside (independent-expenditure) spending from the Federal Election Commission. Bars are scaled within this race. OPEN SEAT: incumbent Democrat Bonnie Watson Coleman (six terms) is retiring (not seeking re-election). Dr. Adam Hamawy won the crowded Democratic primary (~27%, AP-called, field of ~13 incl. Sue Altman); faces Republican Gregg Mele (ran unopposed; some outlets spell 'Greg Mele'). The field and its fundraising will keep updating as primaries settle and new FEC reports land.
The rating is grounded in this seat’s record on Akashic — its partisan lean, same-office history, and demographics. Read the full profile on the NJ-12 place page.
