Adam Hisham Hamawy (born 1969/1970)[1] is an American politician, former plastic surgeon, combat surgeon and U.S. Army physician.[2] He focuses in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries in Princeton, New Jersey.[3] He is the Democratic nominee for New Jersey's 12th congressional district in the 2026 election.[4] He is also known for his humanitarian work during the Gaza war.[5]
Humanitarian work
Hamawy treated the wounded and first responders right after the September 11 attacks.[6][7][8]
Hamawy became well known for being part of a volunteer team of American doctors in Gaza in 2024 who were unable to leave after Israel closed the Rafah border crossing during the Gaza war. Hamawy was one of three doctors who chose to stay behind until the non-Americans on the team could also leave.[9]
2026 congressional campaign
In 2026, Hamawy announced his candidacy to represent New Jersey's 12th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives after Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman after she announced her retirement.[10][11] His campaign was supported by many progressive politicians such as U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and U.S. Representatives Ilhan Omar and Ro Khanna.[12] Hamawy won the Democratic nomination in June 2026.[13]
