District 7
Tom Malinowski (D-inc) vs. Tom Kean, Jr. (R), Clayton Pajunas (L), Veronica Fernandez (I)
Analysis: Malinowski is facing a rematch against Kean, son of popular former governor Tom Kean, Sr., in a more Republican district after narrowly winning in 2020. This suburban district shifted Democratic in the Trump years but has likely soured on Joe Biden and Democrats in general. An ethics investigation likely won’t do Malinowski any favors either.
Outlook: Lean Kean (Republican gain)
