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 Anthony Bucco, Jr. (R) and Michael Carroll (R) ran for re-election in 2017. Bucco was first elected to the chamber in 2009. He received 29.5 percent of the vote in 2015. Carroll was first elected in 1995. He received 28.2 percent of the vote in 2015. Democrats Richard Corcoran and Thomas Moran received 21.6 percent of the vote and 20.8 percent in 2015, respectively. District 25 was one of 28 New Jersey state legislative districts that Democrat Hillary Clinton won in the 2016 presidential election. Clinton carried District 25 by 0.2 points. In 2012, Republican Mitt Romney won District 25 by 8.3 points. As of 2017, District 25 overlapped with the following counties: Morris and Somerset.

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.
