New Jersey Democrats gain in Assembly

[Recursion]

Source: Newsday

New Jersey Democrats were victorious Tuesday in one of the state's most competitive districts where big spending from an outside group buoyed the party.

Voters across New Jersey elected Assembly members for the new session of the Legislature after a day of balloting in a contest with low turnout and big spending from an outside group.

The Democrats, who have controlled the chamber for more than a decade, increased their hold on power, helped along from an outside political organization supported by allies of the state's biggest teacher's union.

All 80 seats in the Assembly were up for grabs Tuesday. It was the first time in 16 years the Assembly was alone atop the ticket.

1. Having Christie as governor probably also helped

One of the few good things Christie has done as governor

2. Good news.

Although I'm not surprised. Christie is not that popular anymore.

3. I am not all that thrilled with the democrats there, Sweeny certainly helped Christie get re=elected

Not to mention how many times they "made deals with Christie, where they did their part first and he did not do his" i.e. I think they were all bribed by the same people. Ihave heard fool me once, but fool me 47 times?
