The 2013 New Jersey gubernatorial election took place on November 5, 2013, to elect the governor of New Jersey. Incumbent Republican Governor Chris Christie ran for election to a second term in office. He faced Democratic nominee Barbara Buono and six others in the general election. Christie won re-election in a landslide, receiving over 60% of the vote and carrying 19 of the state's 21 counties, including six that he lost in 2009, with the only two counties voting for Buono being heavily Democratic Hudson and Essex. This is the only statewide election held in New Jersey since the 1988 presidential election in which a Republican earned a majority of the vote. Christie became the first Republican gubernatorial candidate to win a majority of the vote since Thomas Kean's landslide victory in 1985. Christie won 21% of Black voters, 51% of Latinos, and was sworn in for his second term on January 21, 2014. As of 2026, this is the last time Republicans won any statewide election in New Jersey...
