2013 New Jersey Election Results SUMMARY As indicated by all of the pre-election polls Governor Chris Christie (R) cruised to victory over challenger State Senator Barbara Buono (D). With this significant re-election victory the Governor’s 2016 national aspirations become even more realistic. At the same time Chris Christie’s win did not result in down ballot coattails, both houses of the New Jersey Legislature remained under Democratic control with only two Republican gains in the Assembly. GOVERNOR As expected, Governor Chris Chirstie (R) easily won re-election for a second term as Governor of the State of New Jersey over challenger State Senator Barbara Buono (D) by a resounding margin of 60% to 38%. The Governor carried every county in the state with the exception of the traditional democratic strongholds of Essex and Hudson. Even in those democratic areas Buono’s margin of victory lagged far behind normal pluralities. LEGISLATURE Targeted Districts 1st Legislative District (Cape May and parts of Atlantic and Cumberland Counties) Incumbent State Senator Jeff Van Drew (D) withheld a significant challenge from Susan Schmidt (R) winning the district with 59% to 40% percent of the vote and Assemblyman Bob Andrzejcak retained his seat with 27% of the vote. However - Republicans may have picked up one seat with Cumberland County Freeholder Sam Fiocchi (R) defeating incumbent Assemblyman Nelson Albano (D). The incumbent faced criticism since The Star-Ledger reported how he used his position to try to get out of a speeding ticket. Since the difference between the candidates is only 1284 votes a recount is possible. 2nd Legislative District (parts of Atlantic County) In the 2nd Legislative State Senate race Jim Whelan (D) has retained his seat with a 55% to 45% vote percentage over his opponent Frank Balles (R). Assembly race remains too close to call. Current reports have incumbent Assemblymen Chris Brown and John Amodeo with 23,930 and 23,047 votes respectively. Running only 379 votes behind is democratic challenger Vincent Mazzeo a recount is likely in this district. 3rd Legislative District (Salem and parts of Cumberland and Gloucester Counties) State Senate President Steve Sweeney (D) staved off a challenge from Niki Trunk (R) receiving a 55% to 45% vote percentage. On the Assembly side incumbents John Burzichelli and Celeste Riley have won with 28% and 27% percent of the vote. 212 West State Street Trenton, NJ 08608 Tel: 609/392-3100 Fax: 609/392-6347 2013 New Jersey Election Results 14th Legislative District (parts of Mercer and Middlesex Counties) Incumbent State Senator Linda Greenstein (D) has edged out former State Senator Peter Inverso to retain her seat with a 1200 vote margin receiving 50% to 48% of the vote. In the Assembly races incumbents Wayne DeAngelo (D) and Dan Benson (D) retained their seat each with 31% of the vote. 18th Legislative District (parts of Middlesex County) Assemblyman Peter Barnes (D) has successfully defeated East Brunswick Mayor David Stahl (R) to capture the Senate seat vacated by Gubernatorial candidate Barbara Buono (D) with 52% to 48% of the vote. Assemblyman Pat Diegnan (D) and newcomer Nancy Pinkin (D) easily won their seats with 27% and 26% percent of the vote respectively. 38th Legislative District (parts of Bergen and Passaic Counties) Incumbent Senator Bob Gordon (D) retained his seat in a hotly contested race against Fernando Alonso (R) with 52% to 48% percent of the vote. On the Assembly side it appears that Republican candidate Rochelle Park Mayor Joe Scarpa (R) will win one of the previously Democratic Assembly seats. With Paramus Councilman Joseph Lagana (D) edging out incumbent Assemblyman Tim Eustace (D) for the other seat. The difference between the four Assembly candidates is only 300 votes; expect a recount in this district. Elsewhere Around the State 4th Legislative District (Parts of Camden and Gloucester counties) Democratic incumbents State Senator Fred Madden (D), Assemblyman Paul Moriarty (D) and Assemblywoman Gabriela Mosquera (D) easily defeated their Republican challengers. 5th Legislative District (Parts of Camden and Gloucester counties) In the 5th Legislative District, the Democratic incumbents Senator Donald Norcross (D), Assemblymen Gilbert Wilson (D) and Angel Fuentes (D) defeated their Republican opponents. 6th Legislative District (parts of Burlington and Camden counties) As expected the Democratic incumbents, State Senator Jim Beach (D), Assemblyman Lou Greenwald (D) and Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt (D) defeated their Republican adversaries. 7th Legislative District (parts of Burlington county) 212 West State Street Trenton, NJ 08608 Tel: 609/392-3100 Fax: 609/392-6347 2013 New Jersey Election Results In the State Senate race incumbents Diane Allen (R) easily won reelection.

    Results of the 2007 New Jersey General Elections

    Results of the 2007 New Jersey General Elections On Tuesday, November 6, 2007, New Jersey voters went to the polls to select all 120 seats in the Legislature. Yesterday’s general election altered the current make-up (50-30) of the State Assembly and the Senate (22-18). The Democrats retain control of both houses. The new make-up of the Assembly will be 48-32 and the Senate will be 23-17. After a lame duck session which begins on November 8, 2007, the new members of the Legislature will be sworn in on January 8, 2008. Efforts to resolve leadership in both houses will take place this week. Strong signals are that Senate President Dick Codey (D) will remain in his current leadership role with Joe Vitale, Paul Sarlo and Steve Sweeney vying for majority leader and budget committee chairman respectively in the upcoming Senate leadership election. Senate Minority Leader Leonard Lance (R) is reportedly going to forgo his leadership role in favor of Senator Tom Kean, Jr. (R) with Lance potentially to take over as the ranking Republican member of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee. Assembly Speaker Joe Roberts (D) will retain his Speakership, backed up by current Majority Leader Bonnie Watson Coleman. Minority Leader Alex DeCroce (R) is expected to retain his Assembly Minority Leader position. We will keep you apprised as to the final decisions on leadership. With a few notable exceptions, all incumbent legislators defeated their general election challengers. The following is a breakdown of the election results from the targeted districts – which are usually the most publicized, contentious and expensive campaigns in the State: District 1 (Atlantic/Cape May/Cumberland) – This split district has now gone to the Democrats with the election of incumbent Assemblyman Jeff Van Drew (D), who defeated incumbent Senator Nick Asselta (R) for the Senate seat by a 56-44 percent margin.

The bill makes an $11.3 million appropriation to the Department of Education (DOE) where it will be used to raise the current security allocation from $75 to $150 per child registered in a nonpublic school. Currently, the DOE allocates $205 in security funding for every child registered in New Jersey’s public schools. Bill S3080/A4597 was introduced in the Assembly by Assemblymembers Gary Schaer, Lisa Swain and Christopher Tully, and in the Senate by Senators Joseph Lagana, Vin Gopal and Paul Sarlo. The funding may be used for security services, technology or equipment in order to “ensure a safe and secure school environment for nonpublic school students.” Ralph Zucker, chairman of Agudath Israel of America’s New Jersey office, thanked Senate Budget and Appropriation Committee Chairman Senator Paul Sarlo for his efforts. “With the horrific Pittsburgh shooting still fresh in our minds, the need to protect our children while they are in school is more apparent than ever,” said Mr.

The most recent statewide survey of registered voters from Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind finds Phil Murphy in the lead among Democrats and Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno at the top among Republicans. Murphy’s 17 percent support among Democrats is the same as that registered for “someone else.” Among other named Democrats, State Senator Raymond Lesniak earns the support of seven percent, Assemblyman John Wisniewski garners six percent, and former Treasury official Jim Johnson comes in with two percent. Collectively, however, these names are eclipsed by the uncertainty that most Democrats express with 50 percent saying they don’t know who they like at this point. “Murphy has pumped a bundle of his own money into this race and received early endorsements from power brokers across the state as well as raised a considerable sum from donors. His lead over other long term public officeholders seems to be an indication that his investment was well spent. Still, the field is fluid and a majority are taking a wait and see approach to who will be their party’s standard bearer in the race to replace Governor Christie,” said Krista Jenkins, professor of political science and director of PublicMind.

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.

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.

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.
