The election took place alongside Christine Todd Whitman's election as Governor over incumbent Jim Florio. Republicans defended the large majority they gained in the 1991 landslide elections, though Democrats did win back districts 7 and 19 that they lost in that election, and picked up the 25th district in an upset over incumbent John H. Dorsey. This election featured in the political rises of future Governors Jim McGreevey, who flipped one of the three Democratic gains by defeating Randy Corman, and Chris Christie, who unsuccessfully challenged Senator Dorsey in the Republican primary, possibly undermining Dorsey's re-election campaign.Lizza Ryan Crossing Christie https://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2014/04/14/140414fa_fact_lizza?currentPage=all https://web.archive.org/web/20160727144154/http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/04/14/crossing-christie July 27, 2016 April 23, 2020 The New Yorker April 14, 2014 Contents Incumbents not running • Summary of resultsBy District: 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5 • 6 • 7 • 8 • 9 • 10 • 11 • 12 • 13 • 14 • 15 • 16 • 17 • 18 • 19 • 20 • 21 • 22 • 23 • 24 • 25 • 26 • 27 • 28 • 29 • 30 • 31 • 32 • 33 • 34 • 35 • 36 • 37 • 38 • 39 • 40 __NOTOC__ Incumbents not running for re-election Democratic Matthew Feldman (District 37) Republican John E.
