Can Tim Alexander Unseat Jeff Van Drew This Time?
Alexander again will face incumbent Republican U.S. Rep Jeff Van Drew, R-2, who was first elected to political office as a Democrat but publicly switched parties in 2019.
MAYS LANDING — Civil rights attorney and activist Tim Alexander recently announced that he is running for congress in 2026.
He has started his campaign to unseat U.S. Rep Jeff Van Drew, R-2, in the November, 2026 election.
Van Drew beat Alexander in 2022, garnering 139, 217 votes or 58.9% of total votes counted. Alexander had the next highest vote total in the race with 94,522 or 40% of the votes counted. Alexander lost the June 2024 primary to Joe Salerno by less than 450 votes, and never got to face Van Drew in the 2024 General Election.
According to his official campaign website, www.timalexander4congress.com Alexander has said that his mission is building a future rooted in justice, equity, and accountability.
