    While the nation has been worried about whether Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump will be elected to four years in the White House, Central Jersey residents have congressional, county and local elections to decide on Tuesday.

    While Harris is expected to easily win New Jersey and Democrat Any Kim is a heavy favorite to win a U.S. Senate seat over Republican Curtis Bashaw, Central Jersey’s focus will be on the race in the 7th congressional district that extends across the state from Linden to Kill Van Kull to Belvedere on the Delaware River.

    New Jersey Congressional Races

    Republican incumbent Tom Kean Jr., the former governor’s son, is being challenged by Democrat Sue Altman in the 7th District, a race that has drawn national attention and money.

    Tom Kean Jr. and Sue Altman’s Congressional Race Has National Significance

    With Republicans holding a slim majority in the House of Representatives, the outcome of each hotly contested, deeply “purple” district plays a major role in determining who will control the House and the flow of legislation.

    It’s a close race that can be decided by a few percentage points and which side is more successful in getting votes. Altman has an advantage in the eastern urban part of the district, while Kean has a considerable advantage in the rural western part, with the battleground being the affluent middle suburbs.

    Registered Republicans outnumber Democrats in the district, 214,880 to 195,031. But there are 222,521 unaffiliated voters who can decide the outcome.
