About Sam Wang

Sam Wang is a Princeton-based neuroscientist who has lived 26 years in central New Jersey — and decades fighting to fix our broken political system. He founded the Princeton Gerrymandering Project, which has helped combat rigged maps in states across the country, and served as the expert witness in the lawsuit that struck down New Jersey's "county line" ballot system that locked out new candidates. A former Congressional Science Fellow who advised in both the House and the Senate, Sam knows how Washington works — and how to change it. He's also a leading autism researcher whose work has led to new diagnostic tools helping families get answers faster. Sam and his wife have raised their family here in the 12th District, where he's mentored dozens of students and founded Princeton Indivisible and Princeton For All. He's a husband, a father, and the proud owner of three dogs — and he's running for Congress to bring the same energy he's brought to democracy reform to fighting for a better future for all of central Jersey's people and families.

Sam is running for Congress to rebuild our broken democracy, restore the rule of law, and save science. As the federal government is upended by unconstitutional executive actions, Congress must reassert its authority as the principal branch of government. Citizens have risen up in protest through No Kings and Hands Off movements, and Sam will give voice to the thousands of residents of the 12th District who want to restore integrity to our national government.
