The 2013 New Jersey gubernatorial election took place on November 5, 2013, to elect the governor of New Jersey. Incumbent Republican Governor Chris Christie ran for election to a second term in office.http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/26/chris-christie-files-for-re-election-bid/ Chris Christie files for re-election bid November 26, 2012 November 26, 2012 Steinhauser, Paul CNN dead https://web.archive.org/web/20121128065838/http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/26/chris-christie-files-for-re-election-bid/ November 28, 2012 mdy-all He faced Democratic nominee Barbara Buono and six others in the general election.
Christie won re-election in a landslide, receiving over 60% of the vote and carrying 19 of the state's 21 counties, including six that he lost in 2009, with the only two counties voting for Buono being heavily Democratic Hudson and Essex.Christie re-elected governor of New Jersey https://news.yahoo.com/christie-elected-governor-jersey-010312696--election.html Associated Press November 5, 2013 November 5, 2013 live https://web.archive.org/web/20131106183945/http://news.yahoo.com/christie-elected-governor-jersey-010312696--election.html November 6, 2013 mdy-all This is the only statewide election held in New Jersey since the 1988 presidential election in which a Republican earned a majority of the vote.New Jersey only
holds statewide elections for Governor and United States Senator. All other state offices are appointed by the Governor. In 1993, 1997, and 2009, Republicans were elected Governor with pluralities. A Republican has not been elected to the United States Senate from New Jersey since 1972. Christie became the first Republican gubernatorial candidate to win a majority of the vote since Thomas Kean's landslide victory in 1985.
Christie won 21% of Black voters, 51% of Latinos, and was sworn in for his second term on January 21, 2014. 2026, this is the last time Republicans won any statewide election in New Jersey. This is also the last time the counties of Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Middlesex, Mercer, and Union voted for the Republican candidate in a statewide election, as well as the last time that Somerset and Passaic did so in a gubernatorial election.
Christie was criticized for spending an additional $12–25 million of state money to hold a special election for United States senator for New Jersey 20 days earlier on October 16, instead of simply holding the special election on November 5, concurrent with the already scheduled gubernatorial election. The Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate was Newark Mayor Cory Booker. Buono said it was hypocritical, speculating that Booker's presence on the ballot would attract more black and other minority voters who would be likely to vote for Buono. Cruz David Buono Calls Christie Hypocritical for Having October Special Election http://www.njtvonline.org/news/video/buono-calls-christie-hypocritical-for-having-october-special-election NJ Today NJTV 2013-06-04 Aug 13, 2014 ...Rutgers University Law Professor Frank Askin said. "Because Cory Booker will bring out a huge Democratic vote, which otherwise is not gonna materialize this November." live https://web.archive.org/web/20140814145018/http://www.njtvonline.org/news/video/buono-calls-christie-hypocritical-for-having-october-special-election/ August 14, 2014 mdy-all
This is the only gubernatorial election since 1989 in which anyone won over 60% of the vote, and Christie was the first Republican to do so since 1985. Cumberland, Camden, and Union counties voted Republican in a gubernatorial election for the first time since 1985, and Mercer & Passaic since 1993. Buono is the only Democratic nominee for governor since 1985 to never be elected governor and remains the last to receive under a million votes. Despite Christie’s landslide victory in this election, Democrats concurrently retained their majorities in both state legislative chambers.
