Races we watched
Ballotpedia identified five races to watch in the New Jersey State Senate 2017 elections: four Democratic seats and one Republican seat. Based on analysis of these districts' electoral histories, these races had the potential to be more competitive than other races and could possibly have led to shifts in a chamber's partisan balance.
This district was a Race to Watch because the incumbent won less than 55 percent of the vote in the most recent general election prior to 2017. Incumbent Robert Gordon (D), first elected in 2007, won re-election in 2013 by 3.8 points and in 2011 by 6.0 points. In the 2013 elections, he defeated Fernando A. Alonso (R) 51.9 to 48.1 percent. District 38 was one of 28 New Jersey state legislative districts that Democrat Hillary Clinton won in the 2016 presidential election. Clinton carried District 38 by 9.4 points. Democrat Barack Obama won the seat in the 2012 presidential election by 10.1 points. As of 2017, District 38 included Bergen and Passaic counties.
