Van Drew won re-election in his South Jersey district, and with surprising ease.
Now it looks like the House Democrats’ political arm will stay away from spending big to target him again.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Tuesday released its list of 21 House Republicans it planned to go after in 2022, and Van Drew’s name conspicuously was missing.
State Sen. Gerald Cardinale, the second longest-serving state senator in New Jersey history who was known for his political acumen and wit, died Saturday morning at Pascack Valley Hospital following a brief illness.

Gerald Cardinale, one of New Jersey s longest-serving legislators whose four decades in Trenton saw an unwavering advocacy for conservative causes, died Saturday morning at Pascack Valley Hospital. He was 86.
The cause of death was not immediately released, but a statement from the New Jersey Senate Republican Office said Cardinale had a brief illness that was not related to COVID-19.
Gov. Phil Murphy said all flags would be lowered to half staff on Monday when the Senate returns to session in honor of Cardinale, a Republican. Senator Cardinale’s 54-year record of public service to the state of New Jersey speaks to the level of trust his constituents placed in him, said Murphy, a Democrat.
