National Dem committee names 12 Spotlight Assembly candidates

The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee designated a dozen “Spotlight” candidates in this year’s Assembly campaigns, consolidating support for Democratic nominees vital to preserving the party’s majority.

The list includes 11 incumbents and one challenger, Hammonton teachers union leader Anthony Angelozzi, who lost narrowly in 2023 in the 8th legislative district. The DLCC’s release also announced a five-figure investment to back the candidates but did not specify how that money would be spent.

“The DLCC never takes any majority for granted, and with every seat in the New Jersey Assembly on the ballot alongside a competitive gubernatorial race in November, we’re zeroing in and investing in the races that matter most to protect Democrats’ majority in the legislature,” DLCC President Heather Williams said in a release.

National Journal Hotline first reported the news.
