State Legislative Offices
New Jersey has had a Republican governor since Chris Christie was first elected in 2010. New Jersey governors cannot serve more than two consecutive terms, so voters will chose a new governor in November 2017.
Although members of the New Jersey General Assembly (the lower house) serve two-year terms and members of the New Jersey Senate serve four-year terms (except in the first term of a new decade, which lasts two years), the next election is not until November 2017. Both the General Assembly and Senate have a Democratic majority.
There are three special state legislative elections, though. Voters in the 18th and 29th General Assembly districts and in the 18th State Senate district will elect new representatives. A complete list of candidates in local elections can be found at the New Jersey Department of State site.
