The 2025 New Jersey gubernatorial election is scheduled to take place on November 4, 2025, to elect the governor of New Jersey. Incumbent Democratic Governor Phil Murphy is term-limited and cannot seek re-election to a third term in office. Primary elections will take place on June 10, 2025.

Background

Although New Jersey is a Democratic-leaning state, having last backed a Republican for governor in Chris Christie's landslide 2013 re-election and for President in 1988, recent statewide elections have been notably competitive: in 2021, Governor Murphy was re-elected by 3.2 points, considerably down from his 14.1-point victory in 2017. A similar rightward shift was seen at the presidential level in 2024, when Democrat Kamala Harris won New Jersey by 5.8%, about ten points down from Joe Biden's statewide margin in 2020.
