Who Will Represent Moorestown? See New Federal, State Districts

MOORESTOWN, NJ — The completion of the 2020 Census means it is time for the 10-year change in federal and state legislative districts, and those changes affect who represents which towns in every county in New Jersey.

Redistricting is meant to balance the number of people represented by each member of the House of Representatives and each member of the New Jersey Legislature, by adjusting to the population shifts in the state map.

Here's a look at which districts encompass Moorestown now, ahead of the coming primary elections in June and the general election in November.

Moorestown has been in the 3rd Congressional District since 2013, which currently is represented by Democrat Andy Kim.

Under the redistricting, Burlington County remains in the 3rd District, and parts of Mercer and Monmouth counties have been added to it (see the new map here). The Ocean County towns have been removed from the 3rd District.

Two Republicans have announced their intent to challenge Kim: Ian Smith, the gym owner who along with his business partner repeatedly violated Gov. Phil Murphy's stay-at-home mandates in the early days of the pandemic, and Bob Healey Jr., whose family owns Viking Yachts in Egg Harbor. Smith and Healey have gone toe-to-toe already over a press release from the Healey campaign. Read more: NJ Congressional Candidate Threatens Suit Against Rival: Report

At the state level, Moorestown has been in the 7th Legislative District and will remain there; the district's towns are unchanged. The 7th District is represented by Sen. Troy Singleton and Assemblymembers Herb Conaway and Carol A. Murphy, all of whom are Democrats.
