2014 New Jersey primary election results

1st Congressional District

State Sen. Donald Norcross has won the Democratic primary for southern New Jersey’s 1st District. It’s the district held by Democrat Congressman Rob Andrews who resigned in February.

Norcross defeated graduate student Frank Broomell and Logan Township Mayor Frank Minor in Tuesday’s primary.

On the Republican side, former Philadelphia Eagles player Garry Cobb defeated three rivals. He is expected to be an underdog in the November general election in the heavily Democratic district near Philadelphia. The district includes the city of Camden and its suburbs, as well as portions of Burlington and Gloucester counties.

The seat attracted primary competition because it’s open for the first time in more than two decades.

Norcross is the brother of George Norcross, one of the state’s most influential Democratic powerbrokers.

3rd Congressional District

Former Randolph Mayor Tom MacArthur has won the hotly contested Republican primary in New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District.

He will face Burlington County Freeholder Aimee Belgard, who easily won the Democratic nomination Tuesday.

This contest is expected to be New Jersey’s most competitive congressional race in November as Democrats hope to pick up a seat. The seat is open because Republican Rep. Jon Runyan decided not to seek re-election. The 3rd District stretches from the Philadelphia suburbs to the Jersey Shore.

MacArthur and Lonegan, also a former northern New Jersey mayor, moved to the district to run. Lonegan entered the race weeks after losing a special U.S. Senate election to Democrat Cory Booker and declaring his days of running for office were over.
