General election

Elections for the New Jersey General Assembly took place in 2017. All 80 seats were up for election. State assembly members are elected to two-year terms. The general election took place on November 7, 2017. A primary election took place on June 6, 2017. The filing deadline for the primary election was April 3, 2017.[1] Legislative districts in the New Jersey General Assembly are multi-member districts, with two representatives in each district. In Democratic and Republican primary elections, the top two candidates move forward to the general election, and the top two candidates in the general election are declared the winners.[2] Incumbent Amy Handlin (R) and Serena DiMaso (R) defeated Tom Giaimo (D), Mariel Didato (D), and Eveline H. Brownstein (Libertarian) in the New Jersey General Assembly District 13 general election.[3][4]

Brownstein's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Education

  • As your candidate for 13 Assembly District I fully embrace and support parental choice in education and school vouchers for parents who seek choice. As a Libertarian, I believe that if we return the school taxes we take from residents, parents will automatically have a choice of where to send their children for education.

In order to implement school choice, my Property Tax Reform plan includes the following provisions:

  • 1. Eliminate all local Boards of Education. Instead, create a county Board of Education will be formed, composed of a single, representative voted into the position by town residents during a general election (beginning with the 2020 general election) for a maximum four-year term.
  • 2. 50% of all property taxes collected will be slated for education (as they are now). The County Board of Education will be responsible for apportioning equal expenditures per pupil in every school in the county, regardless of the town that the child is in and parents may choose to send their children to any school in any county for which the County Department of Education will pay directly to that school district in the same amount as they would have if that child had attended a school within the resident county.

Property Taxes
In the short-term, I propose immediately implementing the following ten-point plan for reducing property taxes:

  • 1. By 2020, roll back property tax assessments to the market value assessments that were used in 2010
  • 2. For all properties purchased between 2010 and 2020, calculate all tax assessments on the purchase price of the property, except for reassessments as a result of construction, improvement or remodeling which prompted a reassessment in those years.
  • 3. There will be no increase in the assessed value of a property if it is transferred to a family member and no estate tax will be imposed if the property is transferred to a family member as a result of a bequest upon death.
  • 4. The property tax rate cannot exceed 1.5% of the property's assessed value as of 2010, or the market value of the property between 2010 and 2020 and cannot increase by more than 2% in any given year subsequent to the assessment value as determined between 2010 and 2020, unless as a result of a purchase, construction, improvement, or remodeling
