All 120 seats are up for grabs, and Republicans are trying to end 20 years of Democratic control. A few key races are pretty tense.
in New Jersey’s elections a week from Tuesday, and it’s not a shock if you weren’t aware. Without those high profile races for governor or president, these “off year” elections can fly under the radar.
All 120 of the Legislature’s seats — one Senate spot and two Assembly spots for each of the state’s 40 districts — are on the ballot. Whichever party holds the majority of seats determines which bills come up for votes and helps decide funding in the state budget.). In one matchup, there’s controversy over past comments one candidate made about abortion and charges that his challenger produced an X-rated film .
Ashley Koning, director of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling at Rutgers University, said Republicans have been “chopping away the past couple of election cycles,” though they would “have to run the table in non-competitive and close races and likely score unexpected victories” to assume power this time.
“What’s more ridiculous: a trucker saying something insensitive, or a career politician moonlighting as an X-rated movie producer?” the Durr ad asks. Burzichelli, also a former Paulsboro mayor, said Durr has “delivered nothing for the district” compared to his own 20-year record as a former member of the Assembly.
Froonjian, the Stockton professor, said the contest is interesting because it’s different from two years ago. Gopal, who has had to walk a tightrope on many hot-button issues in recent years, said he represents a“very independent” district where are “well-informed” and have seen him “work across the aisle.” And he criticized Dnistrian for “running on a very far-right platform.”
Monmouth is home to three districts that aimed to install policies to require schools to notify parents when their children request transgender or non-binary accommodations. Murphy’s administration hassaying parents should have more of a say in their children’s education.
Moriarty, a member of the Assembly since 2006, is aiming to keep the Senate seat in Democratic hands. His Assembly running mates are Dan Hutchinson, a Gloucester Township councilman, and Cody Miller, a member of the Monroe Township school board. Pappas’ Assembly running mates are are Ross Traphagen, a Clinton councilman, and Grace Zhang, an accountant.Abortion is a critical issue here. Zwicker cast his daughter in a campaign ad warning about what might happen to reproductive rights if Pappas’ team is elected. Pappas has said he wants to ban all abortions, and Zwickerthat his opponent is “completely out of touch” with most New Jerseyans. Pappas said Zwicker’s stance on abortion is “among the most radical of any legislator in New Jersey.
