The 1959 New Jersey State Senate elections were held on November 3.
The elections took place midway through the second term of Governor Robert Meyner . Eleven of New Jersey's 21 counties held regular elections for Senator; Cumberland County also held a special election to complete the unexpired term of W. Howard Sharp, who died in December 1958.[1]
Democrats gained three seats (including the vacant seat in Cumberland) and nearly won control of the New Jersey Senate for the first time since 1915; only 567 votes separated victorious Republican Robert C. Crane and Democrat H. Roy Wheeler in Union County.
Incumbents not running for re-election [ edit ]
All ten incumbents ran for re-election.
