Results of the 2014 United States House of Representatives elections in New Jersey by district:[2]

District 1[edit]

The 1st district is based in South Jersey and includes most of Camden County along with parts of Burlington County and Gloucester County. Democrat Rob Andrews represented the district from 1990 until his resignation on February 18, 2014.[3]New Jersey Governor Chris Christie called for a special election on November 4 (concurrent with the general election) to fill the remaining months of Andrews’ term.[4]

Radio personality and former NFL linebacker Garry Cobb and perennial candidate Lee Lucas ran in the Republican primary.[5][6]

Democratic primary[edit]

Democratic state senator Donald Norcross ran to succeed Andrews.[7] The brother of businessman and political boss George Norcross, Donald was the “heavy favorite” to win the seat. Shortly after declaring his candidacy, he had been endorsed by every Democratic member of New Jersey’s congressional delegation as well as New Jersey Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney, New Jersey General Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald, Camden Mayor Dana Redd and former governor Jim Florio.[8] Matthew Harris, who had been running against Andrews had announced that he would continue his campaign against Norcross, but quickly withdrew, citing the “cascade of endorsements” for Norcross.[9]Logan Township Mayor Frank Minor and Marine Corps veteran Frank Broomell also ran in the Democratic primary.[10][11]

Campaign[edit]

In the general election, the two largest newspapers in New Jersey both endorsed Cho. The Star-Ledger called Garrett “a retrograde culture warrior who wants to eliminate a woman’s right to choose” and criticized his support for the 2013 budget sequester, which hurt New Jersey; by contrast, Cho is “a centrist who actually wants to govern.”[59]The Bergen Record criticized Garrett as “a dogmatic conservative who believes ideology trumps compromise” and agreed with Cho’s call for a federal role in improving the region’s transportation infrastructure.[60]
