Candidates backed by powerful political machines took easy wins in key New Jersey primary races on Tuesday.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Candidates backed by powerful county-level political machines took easy wins in key New Jersey legislative primary races on Tuesday.
As of 10:50 p.m. on Tuesday, Codey had 58% of the vote, compared to Gill’s 42%, with 92% of votes counted, according to the Associated Press, which called the race. The results are unofficial and do not yet include mail-in ballots that can be received for several days after Election Day. In Essex County, endorsements are made by leaders in the Essex County Democratic Committee, without any involvement of the rank-and-file committee members. In some county organizations, committee members vote among themselves to decide which candidates the party will back.
Political observers say Durr, in a “purple” district, could be vulnerable to the challenge he’ll face from Democrats this fall. The 3rd Legislative District has about 11,000 more Democrats than Republicans. Durr will be up against current Assemblyman John Burzichelli, who ran for the Democratic nomination with the party machine’s backing and who took an easy primary win over Mario De Santis, a teacher and progressive reformer.
