New Jersey
Gubernatorial
New Jersey's LD 11 was a seat that Ciattarelli narrowly won in 2021 that Democrats flipped in 2023. The seat contains parts of Monmouth and Ocean counties, including Red Bank, home to famed director Kevin Smith. The coastal area of the district went the hardest for Murphy, but conservative environment of 2021 handed this Biden-won seat to Ciattarelli
Congressional
Hunterdon County was a county that Biden only fell short of winning by about 4 points. Congressman Malinowski wasn't so lucky, losing the county (and most of its area) by about 8 points, and would go onto lose his seat by a handful of points. Malinowski's only support came solely from the bluest cities in the county (and seat at large). Hunterdon was once one of the reddest in the state, but now not so much
