Race summary
Redistricting aided Josh Gottheimer, an outspoken centrist, by axing parts of rural Warren County to shift the seat from Biden+5 to Biden+12. Still, Gov. Phil Murphy came within a point of losing this district in 2021, and in a year like 2022 Gottheimer can’t be considered entirely out of the woods.Key Dates
