TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey veteran Democratic lawmaker John Burzichelli on Tuesday defeated Republican Ed Durr, who stunned Senate President Steve Sweeney two years ago by beating him in a closely contested race.
Burzichelli was a longtime lawmaker and former appropriations committee chairman who was ousted alongside Sweeney in 2021 by Durr and his running mates.
All 80 seats in the Assembly and all 40 in the Senate were up for grabs. Democrats have more than a million-voter registration advantage over Republicans, and they also controlled the redistricting process last year when they had little incentive to redraw maps unfavorably to their party. The GOP hasn’t controlled a chamber of the Legislature in two decades.TRENTON, N.J.
That campaign was among the most heavily contested this year, and saw more political spending than any other race, according to October figures from the state’s campaign finance watchdog. Zwicker's contest wasn't far behind.Democratic Gov.
In an interview earlier this year, Dnistrian said a top issue he heard from voters was concern that parents didn’t have enough control over school districts. The issue made headlines when the state attorney general sued three Monmouth County school districts, charging they violated the state’s anti-discrimination law with policies that called on officials to notify parents if their children had come out as transgender.
Republican State Party Chairman Bob Hugin said Tuesday before races had been called he thought the GOP was talking about issues that mattered to the public.
