Incumbent Republican Tom Kean Jr., facing scrutiny over his absence from Congress due to depression, clashes with Democratic challenger Rebecca Bennett in a Cook Report-tossed-up battle that could be the key to Democrats regaining House control. Across the state, affordability and immigration remain top issues — from soaring housing costs to fierce resistance against a federal detention facility in Roxbury — while voter registration controversies resurface. In the Senate, Cory Booker cruises toward re-election against Justin Murphy, leveraging his financial edge and iconic floor speech. Meanwhile, 12 House races shake up the landscape, including District 12, where voters will choose a brand-new representative as the incumbent steps down.
