2007 New Jersey Senate election

The 2007 New Jersey Senate election was held on November 4.

The election took place midway through Jon Corzine's term as Governor of New Jersey. Democrats gained an additional seat by winning two Republican seats in South Jersey (districts 1 and 2), though one-term Senator Ellen Karcher lost re-election to Jennifer Beck in the 12th district. The Democratic gains in South Jersey laid the groundwork for a transfer of power within the Democratic Party, culminating in Steve Sweeney's election as Senate President midway through the 2008–12 term.
