The DLCC invested six figures and supported 12 Spotlight races across the state, 3 of which flipped GOP seats to secure a supermajority
WASHINGTON — New Jersey Assembly Democrats flipped at least three seats tonight, securing a supermajority as voters resoundingly elected Democrats up and down the ticket. The DLCC identified New Jersey as a priority early in 2025 by investing six figures and spotlighting 12 of the most competitive races that were among the biggest successes of the night.
Tonight’s Assembly wins come as Mikie Sherrill clinched the gubernatorial win, ensuring unified Democratic power can protect New Jersey from MAGA extremism and fight for working families.
Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams issued the following statement:
“Tonight, voters delivered a stunning victory by electing a supermajority in the New Jersey Assembly, sending a clear message to MAGA extremists whose policies have substantially driven the cost of living up. The DLCC is proud to stand with the state Democrats in New Jersey who are focused on lowering costs and protecting economic opportunities for their communities. These victories set the stage for the 2026 midterms when Democrats have the opportunity for historic success in state legislatures across the country.”
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the campaign arm of Democratic state legislatures and leads the national strategy for building power and winning new majorities. Over the last three decades, we have strategized cycle over cycle to win majorities and lead the effort to bring national attention and investment to our ballot level, winning nearly a dozen new chamber majorities over the last decade. Our work has ensured that nearly half of Americans are represented by at least one Democratic majority in their statehouse. State legislatures are the building blocks of our democracy and have the closest connections to Americans’ day-to-day lives. From protecting fundamental freedoms and voting rights to growing the middle class and advancing opportunity, the DLCC and state legislators are moving the Democratic agenda forward and shaping the future of this country.
