The filing deadline for the primary election was April 3, 2017.[3] 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.[4] Incumbent Jon Bramnick (R) and incumbent Nancy Munoz (R) defeated Lacey Rzeszowski (D) and Bruce Bergen (D) in the New Jersey General Assembly District 21 general election.[5][6]

Races we watched
Ballotpedia identified eight races to watch in the New Jersey General Assembly 2017 elections: three seats with two Democratic members, three seats with two Republican members, and two seats split between the parties. 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 presidential candidate opposite of the incumbents' party won the district in the 2016 elections, and both of the incumbents' margins of victory in the previous election were 10 points or less. Incumbents Jon Bramnick (R) and Nancy Muñoz (R) ran for re-election in 2017. Bramnick was first elected to the chamber in 2003. He received 29.9 percent of the vote in 2015. Muñoz was first appointed in 2009. She received 29.5 percent of the vote in 2015. Democrats Jill Anne Lazare and David Barnett received 20.6 percent of the vote and 20.0 percent in 2015, respectively. District 21 was one of 28 New Jersey state legislative districts that Democrat Hillary Clinton won in the 2016 presidential election. Clinton carried District 21 by 9.5 points. In 2012, Republican Mitt Romney won District 21 by 5.8 points. As of 2017, District 21 overlapped with the following counties: Morris, Somerset and Union.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
