On Monday, the last full day of campaigning in some raucous races for Congress, candidates and canvassers fanned out across the state working furiously to persuade voters. In these midterm elections, at least two New Jersey districts have the potential to flip, unseating incumbents. Democratic Rep. Tom Malinowski is fighting for his political life against Republican challenger Tom Kean Jr. in the 7th Congressional District, which was redrawn to favor Republicans. Malinowski says his race is “winnable.”
The 3rd District was reconfigured to aid Democrats. Regardless, Democratic Rep. Andy Kim is waging a tough get-out-the-vote battle to stave off Republican Bob Healey, who has financed his campaign with millions of dollars in family money.
