New Jersey Senate

Tennessee has filed suit in Davidson County Chancery Court seeking more than $33,000 in unpaid fines from five former candidates and officials who failed to file required campaign finance or conflict-of-interest disclosures. The Tennessee Registry of Election Finance and Tennessee Ethics Commission can levy fines up to $10,000 for missed filings, and candidates who don't comply become ineligible to run for future office until records are filed. Named in the suit are former State Senate candidate Katrina Robinson ($30,000), U.S. House candidate Jameson Lee Manor, Washington County Commissioner David Johnson, Jefferson County Road and Highway Commission candidate John Turner, and Finger alderwoman Patricia Hostetler, each owing smaller penalties. Appeal deadlines for the fines have already passed.

New Jersey holds its general election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, with voter registration closed as of October 13 and mail-in ballot requests due by October 27. Polls are open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. statewide. Top races include the U.S. Senate contest, where Democratic incumbent Cory Booker faces Republican Justin Murphy and several third-party and write-in candidates. All 12 of New Jersey's House seats are also on the ballot, with the 2nd Congressional District drawing particular attention as Republican incumbent Jeff Van Drew, who switched parties in 2019, defends his seat against Democratic challenger Zack Mullock, mayor of Cape May, and independent Ramon Mora Jr.
