The short answer is that in the main the incumbents won. Here are the exceptions.<\/p>\n In district one<\/b>, Republican Sam Fiocchi was unseated in a close race by Democrat Bruce Land.<\/p>\n In district five<\/b>, where Democratic incumbents Gilbert Wilson and Angel Fuentes did not run for re-election, they have been replaced by Democrats Patricia Jones and Arthur Barclay.<\/p>\n In district eleven<\/b>, Republican incumbents Mary Pat Angelini and Caroline Casagrande were edged out by Democratic challengers Eric Houghtaling and Joann Downey.<\/p>\n In district sixteen<\/b>, Republicans incumbent Jack Ciatarelli was re-elected, and it appears that Republican incumbent Donna Simon was edged out by Democrat Andrew Zwicker in a very close three-way race including Democrat Maureen Vella in a very close last place.<\/p>\n In district twenty-two<\/b>, Democratic incumbent Linda Stender did not run, but was replaced by Democrat James Kennedy.<\/p>\n In district twenty-four<\/b>, Republican incumbent Alison McHose did not run, but was replaced by Republican Gail Phoebus.<\/p>\n In district thirty-one<\/b> where Incumbent Democrats Jason O\u2019Donnell and Charles Mainor did not run, they were replaced by Democrats Angela McKnight and Nicholas Chiaravalloti.<\/p>\n In district thirty-three<\/b> where Democratic incumbent Carmelo Garcia did not run, he was replaced by Democrat Annette Chaparro.<\/p>\n Assuming the sixteenth district seat goes to Democrat Zwicker, the Democrats have increased their hold on the Assembly from forty-eight\/thirty-two to fifty-two\/twenty-eight.<\/p>\n That’s the election coverage for the Garden State this year.<\/p>\n [contact-form subject='[mark Joseph %26quot;young%26quot;’][contact-field label=’Name’ type=’name’ required=’1’\/][contact-field label=’Email’ type=’email’ required=’1’\/][contact-field label=’Website’ type=’url’\/][contact-field label=’Comment: Note that this form will contact the author by e-mail; to post comments to the article, see below.’ type=’textarea’ required=’1’\/][\/contact-form] <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is mark Joseph “young” blog entry #15, on the subject of The 2015 Election Results.
