Adam Hisham Hamawy (born 1969/1970) is an American political candidate, former plastic surgeon, combat surgeon and U.S. Army physician. He specializes in both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures at his practice in Princeton, New Jersey. He is the Democratic nominee for New Jersey's 12th congressional district after winning the 2026 Democratic Primary. Hamawy gained national attention in 2024 as part of a volunteer team of American doctors in Gaza who were unable to leave after Israel seized and closed the Rafah border crossing during the Gaza war. Army National Guard veteran and U.S. senator Tammy Duckworth, who credits Hamawy with saving her life when they were both serving in the Iraq War in 2004, personally intervened to help them leave. Hamawy was one of three doctors who chose to stay behind until the non-Americans on the team could also depart. In 2026, Hamawy entered the Democratic primary for New Jersey's 12th congressional district to succeed Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman after she announced her retirement. Hamawy won the primary, setting him up as the strong favorite to succeed Watson Coleman in the heavily Democratic district.
