New Jersey
With no Senate race on the ballot and the Governor’s election held last year, the 12 US House seats lead the midterm Garden State ballot. Redistricting has secured some of the more vulnerable Democratic seats, but with a price. Rep. Tom Malinowski’s (D-Rocky Hill/Westfield) 7th CD became more Republican as a result of the redistricting commission members shoring up Democratic areas for adjoining districts, and the Congressman only held off former state Senate Minority Leader Tom Kean, Jr. (R) in 2020 with less than 52% of the vote. Therefore, we can be assured of another close finish here, but the new district might tip the scale in Mr. Kean’s favor.
