Our scorecard rates each member of the New Jersey Senate and Assembly on their conservation record and actions taken to protect the environment in the Garden State. It does this by tracking how New Jersey’s 40 senators and 80 Assembly members voted on key legislation affecting air and water quality, open space, and the fight against climate change. As “the political voice for the environment,” New Jersey LCV uses its resources to elect environmental champions and support them in office while helping to defeat candidates and officeholders whose legislative priorities do not include air, water, and land protections. We empower legislators by providing background information before key environmental votes, and we hold legislators accountable for their positions and actions related to our environment. -

LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD 218TH NJ LEGISLATURE 2018-2019 DEAR FRIENDS, I am pleased to share this report card for the 2018-2019 New Jersey state legislature. Here is a snapshot of how lawmakers voted on key social and moral legislation related to the right to life, education, family, marijuana, marriage, and other issues. Guided by our mission of building a state where God is honored, religious liberty flourishes, families thrive, and life is cherished, this report card focuses on seven bills in the New Jersey Assembly and Senate during the 2018-2019 Legislative Session. All of those bills are included in this report card. A bill is passed by a simple majority in the Senate (21 votes out of 40 senators) and the Assembly (41 votes out of 80 Assembly members.) Lawmakers earned letter grades ranging from A–F based on how they voted on all the bills. This report card is not an endorsement of any candidate or political party. It does not measure any lawmakers’ integrity, commitment to their faith, work ethic, or rapport with Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey. It is only a report on how each lawmaker voted. One of the most common questions people ask is, “How did my legislator vote?” This report card should help you answer that question. Sincerely, Shawn Hyland Director of Advocacy CONTENTS Introduction Letter 2 Vote Descriptions 4 About the Report Card 3 Legislator Votes 5-7 - 2 - ABOUT THE REPORT CARD Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey selected votes on key legislation in the New Jersey Assembly and New Jersey Senate based on our core belief in promoting, protecting, and strengthening traditional family values. -
NJ Election Update November 7, 2018 New Jersey's Gubernatorial and State Legislative Elections Are Held in Odd-Numbered Years
NJ Election Update November 7, 2018 New Jersey’s gubernatorial and state legislative elections are held in odd-numbered years. However, when Democrat Phil Murphy was sworn in to be NJ’s next Governor earlier this year, he tapped a number of lawmakers to serve in his cabinet. The vacancies these appointments created as well as other circumstances required eight special legislative elections to fill the unexpired terms of the departed lawmakers. A summary of those contests are provided below. It should be noted that all of the successful candidates have been serving as “Acting” lawmakers for most of the year and are of the same party affiliation as their predecessors. Accordingly, there are no significant changes to report in terms of composition/control of the New Jersey Legislature as a result yesterday’s special elections. Democrats continue to control the Senate (25-15) and the Assembly (54-36). Included below for your information is also a summary of the 2018 New Jersey federal elections where Democrats picked up 3 House seats and another race (CD-3) is too close to call. NJ SPECIAL ELECTION RESULTS The New Jersey State Legislature greatly shifted following last November’s State Senate and General Assembly elections, as well as some members of the Legislature leaving for the newly-formed Murphy Administration. Eight special elections were held on November 6th, alongside the congressional campaigns, to fill 10 vacant seats in the NJ Legislature. In District 38 (Bergen County), Senator Joe Lagana (D), Assemblyman Chris Tully (D), and Assemblywoman Lisa Swain (D), won their seats, with the only special election for the state’s upper house. -
