Here are the general election matchups in New Jersey's competitive legislative races

After last night’s primary elections, New Jersey Democrats and Republicans alike now have gubernatorial standard-bearers they can rally behind in November: Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-Montclair) for the blue team, former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli (R-Somerville) for the red.

Just as importantly, both parties now also officially have nominees in the state’s competitive legislative districts, which will determine what kind of State Assembly either Ciattarelli or Sherrill will be working with. Democrats currently have solid majorities in both chambers, but they’re hoping to grow their Assembly majority even further after a successful 2023, while Republicans will be vying to shrink it. (Only the Assembly and one single State Senate seat are up this year.)

In almost every district, party-endorsed candidates on both sides of the aisle won their respective nominations, though the Democratic primaries in two potentially competitive districts have yet to be firmly resolved. There’s also always the possibility that some candidates are switched out this summer – either because they don’t want to run anymore or because their local parties think they’ve found someone better – so not every slate is truly set in stone yet.

Those caveats aside, here’s what the matchups look like heading into November
