Tuesday was primary election day in New Jersey, and for Democrats and Republicans there were important choices made at the polls with ramifications that could be realized in November's pivotal midterm elections. Despite facing opponents, incumbent members of the U.S. House from South Jersey solidified their party support ahead of races that could be closer in November. Here's a look at the results from three Congressional races in South Jersey's 1st, 2nd and 3rd districts.
Republican Claire Gustafson won her primary election against Damon Galdo securing her party's nomination in N.J.'s 1st District of the U.S. House for the general election in November.Gustafson's win on Tuesday sets up a rematch with incumbent U.S. Rep. Donald Norcross, who defeated her in the 2020 election. New Jersey's 1st Congressional District covers most of Camden and Gloucester counties, as well as two municipalities in Burlington County. Gustafson is a small business owner and an active member of her community in Collingswood, where she once served as a school board member and youth soccer coach. She is the current president of Camden County New Jersey Republican Woman and serves on Collingswood's planning and zoning board.
