*'''John Adler (D) of New Jersey's 3rd congressional district:'''
Democrat John Adler is expected to face a tough reelection battle in 2010. Running in 2008 he had served 17 years as a well-known State Senator, running in a Democratic year in a district that went for Barack Obama, and outspent his Republican opponent by a 2-1 ratio. All political factors were working for Adler, and his victory was a narrow 52%-48% margin. Adler has received additional financial aide from the National Democratic Congressional Committee as they see him as vulnerable. He has $869,000 cash-on-hand for his reelection.
*'''Leonard Lance (R) of New Jersey's 7th congressional district:'''
A moderate Republican, Lance was reelected by eight percentage points in 2008. Regardless, the district supported Barack Obama 50%-49%. Democrats have not recruited a top-tier candidate.
