WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Common Defense, a national organization of veterans and military families, is proud to announce its endorsement of Dr. Adam Hamawy for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th District. A combat trauma surgeon, Army Lt. Colonel, and humanitarian, Dr. Hamawy has spent his life on the front lines and saving lives in war zones, disaster areas, and underserved communities.
“Dr. Adam Hamawy has built his career around service, sacrifice, and saving lives,” said Naveed Shah, Political Director of Common Defense. “As veterans, we believe that same level of service should inform every role and every branch of government. Common Defense is proud to stand with him in his campaign for the U.S. Congress.”
“As a former U.S. Army combat trauma surgeon, I know the cost of war and the importance of the oath I took to defend the Constitution,” said Dr. Adam Hamawy, candidate for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District. “While Donald Trump is getting us into new wars and violating the foundational laws of our democracy, veterans at Common Defense are fighting back. I am proud to have earned their support.”

Common Defense Civic Engagement (501c4) (CDCE) is a grassroots, veteran-led organization that was founded in 2016. We empower veterans to stand up for our communities against the rising tide of racism, hate, and violence, to organize against the entrenched powers that have rigged our economy, and to champion an equitable and representative democracy, where “liberty and justice” truly is for all. For too long, politicians from both political parties have attempted to use veterans as unwilling political props, and Common Defense serves as a home for veterans to organize and speak for themselves and support the candidates who truly share our values.
