Both of New Jersey's U.S. Senate seats have held by Democrats since 2013. Jeffrey Chiesa was the last Republican to represent New Jersey in the U.S. Senate. Appointed in 2012 by then Governor Chris Christie after the death of Senator Frank Lautenberg, Chiesa opted not to run in the special election to determine who would serve the remainder of the term.
