TRENTON – Today, New Jersey Republican Party (“NJGOP”) Chairman Bob Hugin offered the following statement in response to the adoption of the new State Legislative map: 

“I would like to thank and congratulate the Republican members of the Legislative Redistricting Commission for giving the voters a map which solidifies and strengthens the positions of our Republican representatives in battleground districts, but just as importantly, delivers a number of highly competitive, offensive pickup opportunities. It will take great candidates, strong campaigns and a lot of hard work, but let me be crystal clear: this map puts a Republican majority in the State Legislature within reach and that is what the NJGOP will be fighting tooth and nail for,” said Hugin.

“The district boundaries under this map, coupled with the current political climate, the NJGOP’s strong momentum, and the myriad failures of Joe Biden and Phil Murphy, means then no Democrat is safe in New Jersey in 2022, 2023 and beyond,” Hugin concluded.
