The 2013 New Jersey State Senate election coincided with Chris Christie's landslide re-election to a second term as Governor of New Jersey.
2013 was an election of remarkable stability in the Senate, as just one seat (that of gubernatorial nominee Buono) failed to return its incumbent to office. As a corollary, no seats changed party for the second consecutive election. This was the last time that the party that won the popular vote did not win the most seats.
