NJ-11: Malinowski raises more than $500k to kick off campaign

Former Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-Ringoes) was always a strong fundraiser when he ran for the 7th congressional district, and his new campaign for the 11th congressional district is looking to be no different.

Malinowski, one of nine Democrats competing to succeed Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill, raised more than $500,000 since he launched his campaign last week, a gigantic sum for a Democratic House primary.

“I’m humbled and inspired by the outpouring of support from people across New Jersey who want to continue fighting for our democracy, our freedoms, and our future,” Malinowski said in a statement. “I never have and never will take corporate money – corporate lobbyists are why healthcare costs too much and too little gets done. I’ll stand up to Trump and I’ll only answer to you.”

Malinowski’s campaign said that none of his totals came from self-funding or were transferred over from prior campaigns for Congress. (After losing re-election in 2022, Malinowski converted his old fundraising account into a political action committee supporting liberal candidates in school board races.)
