Continued on page 22 What Dealers Need To Know About the New Congressional and Legislative Districts BY JOHN SANTULLI Every decade, the U.S. government conducts a national census to identify changes in population to guide the distribution of funds and other aid to states. The new census is then used by states to guide them with their legislative redistricting and congressional reapportionment process, where both political parties redraw the lines of the new Legislative Districts (LDs) and Congressional Districts (CDs) in their states. On December 31, 2020, the new decade’s census results were finalized and became the resource for New Jersey’s new maps for LDs and CDs. The “new” 12 CDs were in effect for the November 8, 2022, elections for Congress. As you can see from the list below, with the exception of CD 7 flipping from Democrat to Republican, the CD political composition did not change and most incumbents regained their seats: * CD 1 Donald Norcross (D) * CD 2 Jeff Van Drew (R) * CD 3 Andy Kim (D) * CD 4 Chris Smith (R) * CD 5 Josh Gottehimer (D) * CD 6 Frank Pallone (D) CD 7 Thomas Kean (R) +CD 8 Robert Menendez, Jr. (D) * CD 9 Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D) * CD 10 Donald M. Payne (D) * CD 11 Mikie Sherrill (D) * CD 12 Bonnie Watson Coleman (D) *prior incumbent +succeeded prior Democrat 20 new jersey auto retailer
