New Jersey Voters, in Rebuke of Christie,
Oust 3 Republicans From Assembly By ALEXANDER BURNS NOV. 4, 2015
New Jersey Republicans faced a stinging defeat in offyear elections on
Tuesday, as three Republican members of the State Assembly were beaten for
reelection in a rebuke to the party and Gov. Chris Christie.
Republicans had hoped to build on Mr. Christie’s political successes and
cut into the Democratic majority in the chamber, where Democrats currently
hold 48 of the 80 seats. Instead, the election became a sharp reality check for
allies of the governor, who only two years ago won reelection by a towering margin.
