District 30

The incumbents were Republicans Sean T. Kean who was re-elected with 36.76% of the vote in 2021, and Edward H. Thomson who was re-elected with 35.50% of the vote in 2021. Donald Trump won this district by 67.27% in 2020. In a major upset, Democratic Orthodox Jewish Rabbi Avi Schnall defeated Thomson for the second Assembly seat. Schnall was backed by the Jewish community in Lakewood Township, winning 86% of the Townships vote over Thomson when counted as a two-way race, allowing him to overcome the rest of the district's Republican lean.{{Cite web |last=Fox |first=Joey |date=2023-11-08 |title=Schnall flips 30th district Assembly seat blue, with massive support from Lakewood's Orthodox community |url=https://newjerseyglobe.com/legislature/schnall-flips-30th-district-assembly-seat-blue-with-massive-support-from-lakewoods-orthodox-community/ |access-date=2023-11-27 |website=New Jersey Globe |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Fox |first=Joey |date=2023-11-09 |title=How Avi Schnall turned a deep-red legislative district blue |url=https://newjerseyglobe.com/fr/how-avi-schnall-turned-a-deep-red-legislative-district-blue/ |access-date=2023-11-27 |website=New Jersey Globe |language=en-US}}
