Description After nearly beating incumbent Senator Cafiero two years earlier, South Jersey Dems have failed to even field a candidate for the now open seat, and no candidate mounted a successful write-in campaign. This is supposedly intentional, such that endangered Assemblyman Jeff Van Drew would be able to run as the top of the ticket (while still running for Assembly).

Republicans have chosen Assemblyman Nick Asselta as their standard bearer, and he should easily win the general against third party opposition.
