The 2013 New Jersey gubernatorial election took place on November 5, 2013, to elect the governor of New Jersey. Incumbent Republican Governor Chris Christie ran for re-election to a second term in office. [2] He faced Democratic nominee Barbara Buono and six others in the general election.

Contents

Christie won the election outright, receiving over 60 percent of the vote and carrying 19 of the state's 21 counties, with Buono only winning heavily Democratic Hudson and Essex. [3] This is the only statewide election held in New Jersey since the 1988 presidential election in which a Republican earned a majority of the vote [lower-alpha 1] and Christie became the first Republican gubernatorial candidate to win a majority of the vote since Thomas Kean's landslide victory in 1985.

Christie won 21% of Black voters and 51% of Latinos. As of 2023, this is the last time Republicans won any statewide election in New Jersey. This is also the last time the counties of Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Middlesex, Mercer, Passaic, and Union voted for the Republican candidate in a statewide election, as well as the last time that Somerset did so in a gubernatorial election. Buono is the only Democratic nominee for governor since 1985 to have never been elected governor.

Christie was criticized for spending an additional $12–25 million of state money to hold a special election for United States Senator for New Jersey 20 days earlier on October 16 instead of simply holding the special election on November 5, concurrent with the already scheduled gubernatorial election. The Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate was Newark mayor Cory Booker. Buono said it was hypocritical, speculating that Booker's presence on the ballot would attract more black and other minority voters who would be likely to vote for Buono. [4]

This is the only gubernatorial election since 1989 in which anyone won over 60% of the vote, and Christie was the first Republican to do so since 1985. Cumberland, Camden, and Union counties voted Republican in a gubernatorial election for the first time since 1985, and Mercer & Passaic since 1993.

Removed from primary ballot

Araujo, Bergmanson, Boss, and Webster had their nominating petitions challenged by the New Jersey Democratic State Committee; only Webster's petitions were found to be valid therefore allowing his name to remain on the primary ballot with Buono. [12] Araujo and Boss subsequently filed new petitions to run in the general election as independents. [13]

Notes

  1. ↑ New Jersey only holds statewide elections for Governor and United States Senator. All other state offices are appointed by the Governor. In 1993, 1997, and 2009, Republicans were elected Governor with pluralities. A Republican has not been elected to the United States Senate from New Jersey since 1972.
