No one opened the door when Adam Hamawy rang the bell of a Trenton row house while campaigning for Congress in the city's historic Mill Hill district. Instead, a young man opened a third-floor window and poked his head out. "Have you voted yet? Or are you going to vote soon?" Hamawy shouted up into the May afternoon sunshine. The man replied with a no. "The election is on June 2. And I'm running so that we are funding healthcare, not bombs. We all want healthcare, right?" asked Hamawy, a surgeon by trade. The man agreed. "So will you vote for me?" Hamawy asked. The man said he would look at the pamphlet stuck in his front door.
