Take Action New Jersey

NJ-07 (Malinowski)

For Democrats, the redistricting process resulted in three previously competitive districts made relatively safe, but one Democratic district at a much higher risk.

Safer Democratic seats:
* NJ-03 Andy Kim, , whose district shifted to D+9  from R+5;
* NJ-11 Mikie Sherrill, now D+11 
* NJ-05 Josh Gottheimer, now D+4

Tom Malinowski (NJ-07) was the big loser in redistricting. His district went from D+2 to R+1 and is now rated Lean R by Cook. Malinowski's ability to raise funds (more than $2.58 M thus far) and his moderate stance work in his favor and there is a good chance he can hold the seat. He does face a formidable opponent however. Tom Kean comes from a long-time political family, whose father is the former governor of New Jersey. Malinowski's is a good race to support.
