2006 might surprise people. Tom Kean, Jr. is one of my favorite republicans from NJ and would have my support in any run for statewide office. Even against Bob Menendez, who I am a huge fan of.

My support for Menendez in 2012 was rock solid and in 2018 is rock solid and unwavering.

Who I supported at the time:

2018-Senate: Menendez (primary: McCormick)
2020-Senate: Mehta

2017-Governor: Kaper-Dale
2021-Governor: Murphy

[Roll Roons]

Probably almost all Republicans, except maybe Byrne in 1973 and Booker in the 2013 special.

[Schiff for Senate]

Not a fan of Corrupt Bob, and he had a pretty good GOP opponent (Tom Kean) in 2006, his first race - so there's at least one GOP vote for me, at least if we've got Hindsight. And then in 2018 - Bob Hugin, the GOP candidate, was apparently socially liberal (pro-choice, pro-SSM), and in favour of Obamacare. But very fiscally conservative. I suppose I'd go for Hugin (with or without Hindsight - by the 2018 campaign, Menendez was publicly revealed to be very corrupt).

2012 is tough because with hindsight, I might well break for the GOP nominee, but without it, I'd likely go for Menendez.

2018: Hugin
2012: Kyrillos with hindsight; Menendez without
2006: Kean with hindsight; undecided) without

As for the Class 2 senate races - 2020 had an Indian-American GOP candidate. It was Safe Booker all along, and were it a competitive race, given that I'd likely agree with Booker on much more, I'd have voted for him. But since it was Safe Booker, I'd have safely voted for the Indian-American (Mehta) knowing that my vote wouldn't make the difference. 2014, it was Booker vs a conservative Reagan speechwriter, Jeff Bell. So I'd go for Booker. The 2013 special election was just (seemingly) a very generic race in terms of candidates - conservative GOPer vs liberal Democrat - and I'd thus likely break for Booker.

2020: Mehta
2014: Booker
2013: Booker

Now for gubernatorial races. 2021 would've been Murphy, of course. As would 2017. 2013...with hindsight, I'd vote for Buono (for obvious reasons - Chris Christie 2013 was remarkably similar to Richard Nixon 1972...both won in landslides, but it was later revealed that their re-election campaigns had engaged in very nefarious activities, damaging their political careers and popularities permanently)...without hindsight, undecided (there was some bad stuff that Christie did, yes, but he won in a landslide for a reason and did show some leadership and do enough good things). In 2009, Gov. Corzine (D) was quite unpopular for multiple reasons, while Christie would be / was an appealing candidate..without hindsight, maybe Christie; with hindsight, undecided.

2021: Murphy
2017: Murphy
2013: Buono with hindsight; undecided without
2009: Undecided with hindsight; Christie without



Combining all this gives us:

2021: Murphy
2020: Mehta
2018: Hugin
2017: Murphy
2014: Booker
2013-GOV: Buono with hindsight; undecided without
2013-SEN: Booker
2012: Kyrillos with hindsight; Menendez without
2009: Undecided with hindsight; Christie without
2006: Kean with hindsight; undecided without
