Check out The Morning After post-election panel discussion with political experts as they review key moments throughout the New Jersey gubernatorial race and election night outcomes.

Did you see an RU Voting table this election season? The Center for Youth Political Participation's (CYPP) RU Voting team hosted 62 tabling events leading up to Election Day and interacted with 2,330 students of the Rutgers and greater New Jersey community to get out the vote for New Jersey's election.

The Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP), a unit of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University, releases results for women in this year’s election contests. New Jersey and Virginia held elections for statewide elective executive offices and the lower chamber of each of their state legislatures. In addition, multiple major cities have held mayoral elections this year and Georgia held a special election for Public Service Commission.

This past Election Night, experts from the Eagleton Institute of Politics spoke with several different networks for the evening, including NJ PBS, CBS Philly, NBC, ABC Philly, and NJ 101.5. 

"...When half of voters say they struggle to afford basics like groceries or utilities, and they’re worse off than their parents financially, it’s clear that affordability remains the defining issue in this race and a central lens through which voters are viewing this year’s gubernatorial election," said Dr. Ashley Koning, an assistant research professor and director of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling at Rutgers University-New Brunswick.
