Jefferson Midterm 2018 Primary Election Results

JEFFERSON, NJ — Following a competitive primary race, the primary election day is for local and federal elections in Jefferson and New Jersey's 11th Congressional District. Here's who you will see on the general election ballot come November.

The primary results for New Jersey's 11th Congressional district are in: Current State Assemblyman Jay Webber will appear on the ballot in the general election as the Republican candidate, and Navy veteran and former federal prosecutor Mikie Sherrill will appear as the Democratic candidate.
