| Description | Once the holiday season officially ends on Monday morning, potential candidates and political parties will come closer to making final decisions on their political futures. County conventions and screening committees begin in February.
It will also be a moment for retirement watches as some legislators decide if they want to spend another two years in Trenton. Keep an eye out for incumbents who lose party support for re-election and won’t be able to do anything about it.
The biggest deadline is February 15. If the U.S. Census doesn’t certify new population data by then, the current map will hold for another two years. If they do, there will be a shotgun redistricting session – and potentially a postponement of the June primary. (The real deadline may be January 20, the day Donald Trump leaves office. If it’s not done by then, watch for the current map to remain in effect.) |
