Kim Wins Re-Election In NJ-3 Over Healey, AP Predicts

MOORESTOWN, NJ — Andy Kim has won re-election in New Jersey's third congressional district, fending off businessman Bob Healey, according to the Associated Press.

Unofficial results show Kim held a lead of more than 22,000 votes over Healey, a yacht company executive, as of 11:06 p.m. Both men are Moorestown residents.

Kim won in the newly drawn 3rd District in southern and central New Jersey, which includes more Democratic voters than the previous district’s boundaries.

Millions of dollars poured into the race, with Kim raising $6.4 million and Healey generating $4 million for their campaigns as of Oct. 19.

MOORESTOWN, NJ — The polls have closed, and residents of New Jersey's 3rd Congressional district are waiting to see if incumbent Andy Kim (D) or challenger Bob Healey Jr. (R) will represent them in Washington.

Results may take some time to tabulate, as there are multiple counties in the district: NJ-3 now covers most of Burlington County (including Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst), and a handful of municipalities in both Mercer and Monmouth Counties.

Countywide voting issues in Mercer County might also delay results in NJ-3.

As of 11:28 p.m.

• Andy Kim (D)
  • Burlington (0/366 precincts reporting): 34,024
  • Mercer: (0 precincts reporting): 8,947
  • Monmouth: (0/111 precincts reporting): 24,271
  • Total: 88,376
• Bob Healey (R)
  • Burlington (0/366 precincts reporting): 10,486
  • Mercer: (0 precincts reporting): 2,851
  • Monmouth: (0/111 precincts reporting): 32,862
  • Total: 66,935
• Christopher Russomanno (L)
  • Burlington (0/366 precincts reporting): 138
  • Mercer: (0 precincts reporting): 81
  • Monmouth: (0/111 precincts reporting): 361
  • Total: 705

Kim and Healey are both Moorestown residents, and cast their votes in-person Tuesday. Millions of dollars have poured into the race, with Kim raising $6.4 million and Healey generating $4 million for their campaigns as of Oct. 19. Kim has only received $172,562 in outside money, while Healey has received $1.9 million — all of it from Garden State Advance, a super PAC largely funded by a $2 million donation from Healey's mother.

The NJ-3 redistricting favored Kim and the Democrats, as it removed all Ocean County municipalities, which vote heavily Republican — Donald Trump received nearly 64 percent of the vote in for president in the 2020 election — from the district.

Two other candidates, a Libertarian and an independent, are also on the ballot with Kim and Healey.

There is no automatic recount in New Jersey in the case of a close race.

Some results may not be known even after Tuesday night in a close race because of early voting and mail-in voting.

Mail-in ballots will be counted for up to six days after Election Day if they were postmarked by November 8. Election officials were allowed to begin opening and processing mail-in ballots as of November 3, but not to tally or report results, under a new law.

More than 725,000 New Jersey residents cast ballots by mail or went to vote early.
