As of the 2020 United States census, the district had a population of 243,875, of whom 195,978 (80.4%) were of voting age. The racial makeup of the district was 77,997 (32.0%) White, 8,905 (3.7%) African American, 3,808 (1.6%) Native American, 29,614 (12.1%) Asian, 119 (0.0%) Pacific Islander, 75,874 (31.1%) from some other race, and 47,558 (19.5%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 139,402 (57.2%) of the population.

The district had 132,194 registered voters , of whom 69,052 (52.2%) were registered as Democrats, 46,598 (35.2%) were registered as unaffiliated, 14,931 (11.3%) were registered as Republicans and 1,613 (1.2%) were registered to other parties.

Political representation

The legislative district overlaps with New Jersey's 8th and 10th congressional districts.

Apportionment history

When the 40-district map was created in 1973, the 32nd district consisted of most of northern Jersey City and North Bergen. For the 1981 redistricting, again a northern section of Jersey City was included as well as North Bergen, Secaucus, Kearny, East Newark, and Harrison. No major changes occurred in the 1991 redistricting though a narrower portion of Jersey City made up a part of the 32nd district and Fairview and Edgewater were added to the district for the first time. In the 2001 redistricting, Edgewater was removed and the Jersey City portion of the district was relegated to just the northern corner of the city. All of Jersey City was removed in the 2011 redistricting, but Edgewater was re-added and Guttenberg and West New York were added to the district for the first time.

In February 2018, Assemblyman and former Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto was selected to head the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority and subsequently resigned his seat. Democratic committee members in Bergen and Hudson Counties selected Pedro Mejia as his replacement; he was sworn in on April 12.

In the wake of the 2021 apportionment, the reconfiguration of municipalities in the 32nd and 33rd districts and the incumbent Assembly members in those districts choosing to retire or run for other elective office, the Hudson County Democratic Organization chose newcomers John Allen and Jessica Ramirez to run for the two Assembly seats, with Raj Mukherji shifting from the 33rd district to run for senate. Ramirez and Allen defeated Republican Robert Ramos, the only other candidate running in the 2023 New Jersey General Assembly election, while Mukherji defeated Republican Ilyas Mohammed.
