Cherry Hill’s U.S. representative, Democrat Donald Norcross, won reelection as New Jersey Democrats expanded their share of the state’s House delegation.
Democrats will hold 11 of New Jersey’s 12 House seats, News 12 reported after AP called Zack Mullock’s victory over Republican Jeff Van Drew on Nov. 5. Van Drew had conceded on election night.
NJ Spotlight News’ delegation guide reports Norcross defeated Republican Damon Galdo in the 1st District. Democrat Rebecca Bennett unseated Republican Tom Kean Jr. in the 7th. Rep. Chris Smith, in the 4th District, remains the delegation’s only Republican.
Camden County’s count
The county clerk’s Nov. 6 unofficial summary lists 125,840 votes for Norcross and 43,060 for Galdo within Camden County, with 611 write-ins. Those figures cover the county portion of the congressional race, rather than the entire district.
The same report shows Democrats Louis Cappelli Jr. and Jonathan Young ahead in the two-seat county commissioner contest. Cappelli had 128,068 votes and Young had 126,549, compared with Republican Robert Stone’s 44,263.
Counting continues
Camden County’s election-results page says totals remain unofficial and incomplete until certification. Reporting from every precinct does not mean every eligible ballot has been counted.
The county’s schedule allows additional timely mail ballots to be processed through Nov. 9. It lists provisional-ballot processing beginning around Nov. 10 and continuing through Nov. 17.
The county plans certification Nov. 18. Updated totals will be posted as counting continues, so readers should use the clerk’s results for the latest county figures.
