The 219th New Jersey Legislature began on January 14, 2020, following the 2019 elections for Assembly, and one special election for Senate. It ended on January 11, 2022.

Background

Elections will be held in November 2019 for all 80 seats in the Assembly and one Senate seat. After Senator Jeff Van Drew resigned to join The United States House of Representatives Assemblyman Bob Andrzejczak was appointed to fill his seat, creating a special election to be held in November 2019. Cumberland County Republican Chairman Mike Testa, and former Assemblyman Sam Fiocchi announced their intentions to run for the republican nomination for senate in the 1st District. In the Assembly, as of March 30, 2019, Assemblymen David Wolfe, Michael Patrick Carroll, and Assemblywomen Amy Handlin, Patricia Egan Jones have all announced their planned retirement from the Assembly. During the June primaries 8th District Assemblyman Joe Howarth lost to former Burlington County Sheriff Jean Stanfield.

The Senate seat vacated by the September 2019 death of Anthony Bucco will be filled first by an interim appointment and then by a special election in 2020.
