Who is running for U.S. House, Senate in New Jersey? Here’s the list

While this fall’s midterm election may still feel like ages away, the process has already started for potential candidates.

March 23 was the filing deadline for politically affiliated folks to get on the ballot in this June’s primary election – the stepping stone for November.

All 12 seats representing New Jersey in the House are on the ballot as well as one seat in the U.S. Senate.

The heated contest to succeed Rep. Bonnie Watson-Coleman in District 12 is going to draw much of the attention this spring.

There are more contested races as well, though only three involving incumbents.

Here’s a breakdown of who is running to represent the Garden State in Washington this year, according to the unofficial list made available by the state’s Division of Elections.

U.S. Senate

Democratic Sen. Cory Booker is running for his fourth term. He won’t face any opposition this spring. The Republicans running for a chance to represent their party this fall are Richard Tabor, Justin Murphy, Alex Zdan and Robert Lebovics.

Congressional District 1

Democratic Rep. Donald Norcross is running unopposed in the primary. Republican Damon Galdo will also run unopposed.

Congressional District 2

Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew is running unopposed in the primary. There are four Democrats running, Tim Alexander, Terri Reese, Zack Mullock and Bayly Winder.

Congressional District 3

Democratic Rep. Herb Conaway is running unopposed in the primary. Three Republicans will face off to represent their party. They are Justin Barbera, Jason Culler and Michael McGuire.

Congressional District 4

Republican Rep. Chris Smith is running unopposed in the primary. Two Democrats, John Blake and Rachel Peace, will face off in their party’s primary.

Congressional District 5

Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer is running unopposed in the primary. Republicans Sean Kirrane and John Aslanian will square off to represent their party.

The story continues below the gallery.

Congressional District 6

There are three challengers running against Rep. Frank Pallone in the Democratic primary. They are Katie Bansil, Hillary Herzig and John Hsu.

Congressional District 7

Republican Rep. Tom Kean is running unopposed in the primary. There are four Democrats squaring off to run against him this fall. They are Rebecca Bennett, Michael Roth, Tina Shah and Brian Varela.

Congressional District 8

For the Democrats, Rep. Rob Menendez will face off against Mussab Ali, a former Jersey City school board member.

Congressional District 9

Democratic Rep. Nellie Pou is running unopposed in the primary. Republicans Tiffany Burress and Rosie Pino will square off in their primary.

Congressional District 10

Rep. LaMonica McIver is facing one challenger in the Democratic primary, Lawrence Poster. Carmen Bucco is running unopposed for the Republicans.

Congressional District 11

The story continues below the gallery.

This seat is currently vacant after Gov. Mikie Sherrill resigned to run the state. Democrat Analilia Mejia won a special primary in February and is on the ballot for a special election in April to fill her seat. Mejia is running in the primary in June against Justin Strickland, Donald Cresitello and Joseph Lewis. Republican Joe Hathaway, who is also on the ballot in April, is running unopposed in the June primary.

Congressional District 12

There are 13 people running in the Democratic primary to fill the seat being left by Bonnie Watson Coleman, who announced earlier this year that she would retire at the end of her term.

They are Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, Brad Cohen, Squire Servance, Samuel Wang, Sue Altman, Sujit Singh, Adrian Mapp, Adam Hamawy, Elijah Dixon, Kyle Little, Jay Vaingankar, Matt Adams, Shanel Robinson and Gregg Mele.
