eight races to watch in the New Jersey General Assembly 2017 elections: three seats with two Democratic members, three seats with two Republican members, and two seats split between the parties. Based on analysis of these districts' electoral histories, these races had the potential to be more competitive than other races and could possibly have led to shifts in a chamber's partisan balance.
This district was a Race to Watch because the presidential candidate opposite of the incumbents' party won the district in the 2016 elections, and one of the incumbents retired. Incumbents Joe Howarth (R) and Maria Rodriguez-Gregg (R) were unopposed in the 2015 election. Howarth was first elected in 2015 while Rodriguez-Gregg was first elected in 2013. Rodriguez-Gregg withdrew from the race on August 30, 2017. In April 2017, she was charged with driving under the influence of marijuana. Ryan Peters (R) ran in her place. District 8 was one of 28 New Jersey state legislative districts that Democrat Hillary Clinton won in the 2016 presidential election. Clinton carried District 8 by 2.3 points. In 2012, Democrat Barack Obama won District 8 by 7.3 points. As of 2017, District 8 overlapped with the following counties: Atlantic, Burlington and Camden.
