New Jersey's 30th Legislative District is one of 40 districts that make up the map for the New Jersey Legislature. It covers the Monmouth County municipalities of Avon-by-the-Sea, Belmar, Bradley Beach, Brielle, Farmingdale, Howell Township, Lake Como, Manasquan, Sea Girt, Spring Lake, Spring Lake Heights, and Wall Township and the Ocean County municipalities of Lakewood Township and Point Pleasant.[1]

Demographic information

As of the 2010 United States Census, the district had a population of 270,300, of whom 187,524 (69.4%) were of voting age. The racial makeup of the district was 227,611 (84.2%) White, 18,387 (6.8%) African American, 624 (0.2%) Native American, 9,158 (3.4%) Asian, 106 (0.0%) Pacific Islander, 9,333 (3.5%) from some other race, and 5,081 (1.9%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 30,319 (11.2%) of the population.[2]

The district had 135,400 registered voters as of June 30, 2015, of whom 70,564 (52.1%) were registered as unaffiliated, 23,759 (17.5%) were registered as Democrats, 40,975 (30.3%) were registered as Republicans and 102 (0.1%) were registered to other parties.[3]

Political representation

The district is represented for the 2016–2017 Legislative Session (Senate, General Assembly) in the State Senate by Robert Singer (R, Lakewood Township) and in the General Assembly by Dave Rible (R, Wall Township) and Sean T. Kean (R, Wall Township).[4][5]

District and election history

When the 40-district legislative map was created in 1973, the 30th District was based in Essex and Hudson counties. In consisted of the Ironbound neighborhood and a part of the North Ward of Newark and Belleville in Essex County, and Harrison, East Newark, Kearny, and Secaucus in Hudson County.[6] This district elected one of the few independents ever elected to the Legislature when in 1973, controversial Newark activist Anthony Imperiale won a term in the Senate in 1973, though he would later serve in the Assembly from the district as a Republican.[7] In the 1980s, the 30th shifted slightly to the northwest when it encompassed Belleville, Bloomfield, Nutley, Glen Ridge, Montclair, Verona, and Cedar Grove, entirely in Essex County.[8]

As the population began to shift away from the immediate suburbs of New Jersey cities in the 1980s, the 1991 Apportionment Commission using data collected from the 1990 Census eliminated the 30th District as it existed in Essex County and shifted it to the fast-growing areas of Burlington, Monmouth, and Ocean counties.[9][10] The new 30th District created in 1991 consisted of northern corner of Burlington County including Pemberton Borough and Township, Eastampton Township, Florence Township, Bordentown City and Township, the four panhandle municipalities of Monmouth County (Allentown, Upper Freehold Township, Roosevelt, and Millstone Township), and Ocean County's Plumsted, Jackson, and Lakewood townships.[11] Though unaffiliated voters make up most of the district, they tend to vote for the Republican candidates in this area and no Democrat has been elected to the 30th since it moved to this area.[12][13] In the 2001 redistricting, municipalities in the Burlington County portion of the district were removed leaving only the ones on the edge of the county from Bordentown Township and Fieldsboro to New Hanover; Millstone Township was also removed. Added in this redistricting were Washington Township in Mercer County (renamed Robbinsville Township in 2007) and Monmouth's Howell Township and Farmingdale.[14] The 2011 redistricting compacted the district to Lakewood, Wall, and Howell townships, and other shoreline boroughs.[1] As a result of the district shift, incumbent Assemblyman Joseph R. Malone announced his retirement and incumbent 11th District Senator Sean T. Kean dropped down to running for an Assembly seat to avoid a primary fight with Senator Robert Singer.[15][16]
