New Jersey Primary Election Results

By THE NEW YORK TIMES June 11, 2018, 11:21 AM ET

In a state that hasn’t elected a Republican senator since 1972, Democratic incumbent Robert Menendez would be a shoo-in for re-election if he had not spent much of his current term under fire for accepting gifts from a wealthy doctor whose interests he promoted. His Republican challenger will be Bob Hugin, a former biotech chief executive, and a recent poll showed him trailing Mr. Menendez by just four points.

Five of New Jersey’s 12 House races are also expected to be competitive in November, and Democrats are focusing on three held by Republicans: the Second, Seventh and 11th Districts. Keep an eye on the Second District, where the incumbent, Frank LoBiondo, is retiring. Jeff Van Drew, a conservative Democrat who won the party’s nomination, argued that he will appeal more to general-election voters in a Republican-leaning district.

In the Seventh District, Representative Leonard Lance, a moderate Republican, will face former Obama administration official Tom Malinowski. And in the 11th District, where Rodney Frelinghuysen is retiring, the former Navy helicopter pilot and prosecutor Mikie Sherrill won the Democratic nomination against the former social worker Tamara Harris. State Assemblyman Jay Webber won the Republican nomination for the seat.

U.S. House District 2

The Second District, in South Jersey, would not be a Democratic target in a normal year, but Democrats believe this year’s anti-Trump energy gives them a chance. The incumbent, Frank LoBiondo, is retiring, and four Democrats and five Republicans are running to replace him. The Democratic race is interesting as a microcosm of a national tussle: It pits Jeff Van Drew, a conservative Democrat who might appeal more in such a Republican-leaning district in November, against Tanzie Youngblood, a progressive.

U.S. House District 7

Representative Leonard Lance, the incumbent in the Seventh District, is highly vulnerable thanks to anti-Trump sentiment, even though he is a moderate Republican who voted against his party’s tax plan and voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act. He isn’t likely to face much trouble from his Republican primary challengers, so the real action on Tuesday is in the Democratic primary, where the former Obama administration official Tom Malinowski is running against Peter Jacob, who lost to Mr. Lance in 2016.

U.S. House District 11

The 11th district, being vacated by Representative Rodney Frelinghuysen, attaches heavily Democratic areas of Essex County to Republican-dominated Morris County, creating a seat that has been reliably Republican until this year. The Democratic front-runner is Mikie Sherrill, a former Navy helicopter pilot and prosecutor backed by Joe Biden; she is running against the former social worker Tamara Harris and three others. On the Republican side, State Assemblyman Jay Webber is running against Antony Ghee and Peter De Neufville.
