District history
When the 40-district map was created in 1973, the 32nd District consisted of most of northern Jersey City and North Bergen.[ 6] For the 1981 redistricting, again a northern section of Jersey City was included as well as North Bergen, Secaucus, Kearny, East Newark, and Harrison.[ 7] 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.[ 8] 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.[ 9] 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.[ 1]

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.[ 10] Democratic committee members in Bergen and Hudson Counties selected Pedro Mejia as his replacement; he was sworn in on April 12.[ 11] [ 12]
