Cook Political Report: Lean R[1] FairVote's Monopoly Politics: Lean R[2] |
The 3rd Congressional District of New Jersey held an election for the U.S. House of Representatives on November 4, 2014. Tom MacArthur (R) defeated Aimee Belgard (D) and Frederick John LaVergne (Democratic-Republican) in the general election, ending New Jersey's most expensive House race and one that was deemed by some as the state's most competitive.[4][5]
New Jersey's 3rd Congressional District – which, at the time of the election, consisted of more Democrats than Republicans – was a battleground district.[6] Both The Cook Political Report and FairVote rated the district as closely matched between Democratic and Republican voters. Cook rated the district as "Lean R," predicting a slight advantage for Republicans.[7] FairVote rated the district as a toss up.[8]
In 2012, although New Jersey's 3rd District voted for Republican incumbent Jon Runyan (R) with an 8.9 percent margin of victory, the district also voted for Democratic President Barack Obama with a margin of victory of 4.6 percent. Moreover, with Runyan not seeking re-election, no candidate had the advantage of incumbency.
Belgard employed a tactic similar to that used by MacArthur's opponent in the Republican primary, Steve Lonegan, criticizing MacArthur over lawsuits levied against his former insurance company. Belgard also criticized her challenger for moving in order to run for office. MacArthur, on the other hand, accused Belgard of avoiding debates and increasing taxes during her tenure as a councilwoman in Edgewater Park. Pollster Patrick Murray said of the race, “This has arguably been the nastiest race in New Jersey this year. While both sides have taken shots at each other, national Democrats have weighed in with some controversial critiques of MacArthur." In spite of this, MacArthur consistently led Belgard in the polls and was ultimately victorious.[4]
MacArthur spent more than three times as much money as Belgard, much of it coming out of his own pockets. In total, MacArthur spent approximately $4.4 million, while Belgard spent about $1.1 million.[5]
In the Democratic primary, Belgard raised the most money and garnered the most support from Democratic officials. In the Republican primary between MacArthur and Lonegan, MacArthur gained most of the endorsements from the Republican establishment, while Lonegan received support primarily from tea party groups. MacArthur maintained a lead in spending and polls, but the race became increasingly brutal as Lonegan and MacArthur criticized one another. Consequently, MacArthur sued the Lonegan campaign for defamation. In the June 3 primary, MacArthur secured the Republican nomination and Belgard won the Democratic nomination.
Candidate Filing Deadline | Primary Election | General Election |
---|---|---|
Primary: A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. New Jersey utilizes a semi-closed primary process, in which the selection of a party's candidates in an election is generally limited to registered party members. Unaffiliated voters can register as party members at the polls on primary election day. Otherwise, a voter must indicate his or her party preference (e.g., via an updated voter registration) no later than the 55th day preceding the primary in order to vote in that party's primary.[9][10]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
Voter registration: To vote in the primary, voters had to register by May 13, 2014. For the general election, the voter registration deadline was October 14, 2014 (21 days before election).[11]

Incumbent: Incumbent Jon Runyan (R), who was first elected in 2010, did not run for re-election in 2014.[12]
New Jersey's 3rd Congressional District is located in the south-central portion of the state and includes most of Burlington County and portions of Ocean County.[13]

Race background
DCCC involvement
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), a national Democratic political organization, actively campaigned against both Steve Lonegan and Tom MacArthur. The committee made automated calls throughout New Jersey's 3rd District in order to tell voters that the two Republican candidates wanted to give tax breaks to the wealthy and increase the tax burden on middle-class citizens.[21]
Patriot Majority USA
Patriot Majority USA, a Democratic political organization, spent more than $110,000 on advertising against Republican candidates Tom MacArthur and Steve Lonegan. Although they criticized both candidates, their ads seemed to be targeting MacArthur over Lonegan. According to pundits, this was because Democrats viewed MacArthur as the stronger candidate and the one more likely to be a threat in the general election to the favored Democratic candidate, Aimee Belgard. The organization's attacks against MacArthur were certainly designed to turn off Republican voters, stating, "Tom MacArthur has never met a tax he didn’t like."[22] The ads opposing Lonegan, on the other hand, reportedly may not have been viewed as attacks at all in conservative circles, since they stated that Lonegan would "recklessly cut vital government programs" and "criminalize abortion."[22] Also of interest to many Republicans was the fact that Patriot Majority USA had been running many of their television advertisements on smaller networks, with only $22,000 out of $43,000 being spent on the district's major cable networks.[23]

Media
Lonegan vs. MacArthur

- Tom MacArthur responded with an ad defending himself against the accusations and, in turn, accusing Lonegan of raising taxes.[71]
- In May 2014, Lonegan released another ad opposing MacArthur, stating that MacArthur's insurance company wrongfully denied payment to wildfire victims in Los Angeles.[72]

DCCC ad pulled
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) released an ad, entitled "Fire," in which a fireman accused Tom MacArthur (R) of denying injury claims from firefighters when he owned York Risk Services insurance company.[73] MacArthur planned to sue for defamation, as he had sold the company a year prior to the claims mentioned in the ad, but the DCCC took the ad off the air on September 23, 2014. The DCCC stated that they removed the ad after receiving "new information that Tom MacArthur did not previously disclose."[74] MacArthur responded, "Today is a victory for the truth, and a devastating blow to the empty, dishonest campaign of my opponent, politician Aimee Belgard, and the party bosses and special interests bankrolling her campaign from Washington, DC."[75]
