Andrew Zwicker makes history in the Sixteenth Legislative District a second time, as he declares victory, becoming the first Democratic Senator after previously serving as the first Democrat in the General Assembly from the 16th.

“This was a difficult election year, but I could not be more proud of the campaign that my running mates, Assemblyman Roy Freiman and Mayor Sadaf Jaffer, and I have run. Our campaign focused on the issues affecting the people of the Sixteenth Legislative District and our dedication to serving our neighbors and communities,” said Senator-Elect Andrew Zwicker. “I extend my deepest appreciation to all of the volunteers, supporters, and staff who worked tirelessly across every corner of the district. I am honored that the voters have chosen me to serve them as our first Democratic Senator.”

Zwicker beat former U.S. Rep. Mike Pappas.
