Political representation

The legislative district overlaps with the New Jersey's 3rd and 12th congressional districts.

1965–1973

In the interim period between the 1964 Supreme Court decision Reynolds v. Sims which required the creation of state legislature districts to be made as equal in population as possible and the 1973 creation of the 40-district map, the 14th district consisted of all of Passaic County. For the Senate, two members were elected at-large in the 1965 election for a two-year term, while three members were elected in 1967 for a four-year term and 1971 for a two-year term.

The members elected to the Senate from this district are as follows:

SessionSenators

1966–19672
1968–19693
1970–1971
1972–19733

For the members of the Assembly elected from Passaic County, the election method changed in every general election during this interim period. In 1967, two members were elected at-large from the entire county, while the county was split into three Assembly districts with one member elected from each district. Then in the 1969 election, one member was elected at-large and two Assembly districts in the county each elected two members. The election of 1971 reverted to the original 1967 method of electing Assembly members.

The members elected to the Assembly from each district are as follows:

District composition since 1973
