The 2021 NJ LD-21 State senate election was a comfortable win for 18 year Assemblyman/Assembly GOP leader Jon Bramnick over Roselle Park Mayor Joseph Signorello III following the retirement of longtime state Senator/Senate GOP leader Tom Kean Jr.
With the state and local parties barely trying to win this seat after seeking to flip it in 2019, Bramnick's 7.3% win — combined with Jack Ciattarelli's near upset of incumbent Governor Phil Murphy & outspending Signorello by more than 2:1 —
likewise helped for Assemblywoman Nancy Muñoz and New Providence Borough councilor Michelle Matsikoudis to best the challenge by Elizabeth A. Graner and Anjali Mehrotra.
In the Gubernatorial Election, Incumbent Governor Phil Murphy won this Biden +18% but downballot GOP seat by D+2% — aiding the GOP in holding this longtime suburban GOP seat.
Overall, Bramnick himself overperformed former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli by 9.3% — winning by 7.3% as Ciattarelli lost the seat by 2%.
