Both of New Jersey's U.S. Senate seats have held by Democrats since 2013. Jeffrey Chiesa was the last Republican to represent New Jersey in the U.S. Senate. Appointed in 2012 by then Governor Chris Christie after the death of Senator Frank Lautenberg, Chiesa opted not to run in the special election to determine who would serve the remainder of the term. Steve Lonegan instead ran and was subsequently defeated by Democratic challenger Cory Booker. Clifford P. Case was the last Republican elected to represent New Jersey in the U.S. Senate in 1972. First elected in 1954, Case served four consecutive terms before losing the Republican primary in 1978 to Jeff Bell who himself lost the General election to Democratic challenger Bill Bradley.
