Blue wave rolls deeper into Central Jersey, rattling GOP strongholds

In just a few days, it's become a cliché that a blue tsunami has washed ashore in the United States, sweeping Democrats into control of both houses of Congress and governor's offices in possibly 30 states. But in Central Jersey, the blue tide has been slowly rising, solidifying Democratic dominance in Middlesex and Union counties and eroding the once-moderate Republican stronghold of Somerset County. And now the blue wave, as it moves inland, is even threatening Hunterdon County, making some Republican officials nervous. "Not so long ago Somerset County was ruby red," Somerset County Democratic Chair Peg Schaffer said at the party's Election Night victory celebration. "And now it's beautifully bright blue." A dozen years ago, in 2014, another midterm election year, Republicans won 33 county and municipal seats in Somerset County, while Democrats won only 12, with a third of those victories in North Plainfield. In 2026, according to unofficial results , Democrats were poised to win 37 county and municipal seats, while Republicans may capture only 12. Democrats now hold all eight countywide elected offices. "We are the Republicans' of this county worst nightmare," said Schaffer, who is also vice chair of the state Democratic Party. Tom Kean
