Right now, NJ-12 is still represented by Democrat Bonnie Watson Coleman, who has served in Congress since 2015. Her district covers portions of Mercer, Somerset, Union, and Middlesex counties, including Trenton and Plainfield.

That said, a few things worth knowing:

Watson Coleman is retiring and not running for another term — Adam Hamawy, a Princeton plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Army combat veteran, won the Democratic primary in June 2026 to succeed her.

He'll face Republican Gregg Mele, an attorney who ran unopposed in the GOP primary, in the November 3, 2026 general election.

So Watson Coleman remains your rep through the end of this term, but whoever wins in November will take over in January 2027.

If you want to double-check which district you're actually in (boundaries can be confusing near county lines), the House's official "Find Your Representative" tool at house.gov is the most reliable source.
