2024 battleground election
Ballotpedia identified the June 4 Democratic primary as a battleground race. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.
Two candidates are running in the Democratic primary for New Jersey's 9th Congressional District on June 4, 2024—incumbent Rep. Bill Pascrell (D) and Mohamed Khairullah (D).
New Jersey Globe’s David Wildstein wrote that the election will “undoubtedly focus on the war in Israel and Gaza.”[5] The 9th Congressional District includes Patterson, New Jersey, which, according to the city’s website, is home to the “second-largest Arab-American community in the country.”[6] Politico’s Dustin Racioppi wrote that the enclave “makes up a relatively small bloc in a district that includes two dozen towns in heavily Jewish Bergen County.”[7]
Khairullah said he was running because “[Pascrell] has shown a lack of empathy and sympathy to all residents of his district, particularly our Palestinian brothers and sisters.”[8] Pascrell called for a ceasefire in Gaza, saying, “the Israeli government must work with our allies to secure an immediate ceasefire that brings freedom to all the remaining hostages held by Hamas terrorists and allows increased humanitarian assistance to aid a civilian population in need.”[9]
Pascrell represented New Jersey's 8th Congressional District from 1997 to 2013. Due to redistricting, Pascrell was elected to represent the newly redrawn 9th Congressional District in 2012. If Pascrell wins re-election he would be, at the time of his swearing-in, the oldest member of the House and the second oldest member of Congress behind Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).[10] Pascrell said he is running for re-election to advocate for the 9th Congressional District: “There are two kinds of people that run for Congress. One wants to change the world, and the one which I tried to model myself after is one that tries to change their neighborhood, tries to change the district or town to make it better.”[11]
Khairullah is the Mayor of Prospect Park, New Jersey. He was elected in 2005. His professional experience included work as an educator. His professional experience included work as an educator. According to NorthJersey.com, Khairullah “made national news” after being disinvited from a 2023 White House Eid al-Fitr celebration because the Secret Service denied him security clearance. Khairullah was placed on the federal terrorism watchlist in 2019, but his name was removed before the event at the White House.[12] Khairullah said his campaign is “dedicated to promoting peace, rebuilding trust with the community, and championing the values of unity and progress: It’s time to move forward."[13]
On March 29, 2024, U.S. District Judge Zahid Quraishi issued a preliminary injunction blocking the use of the county line ballot design in 2024 Democratic primaries in New Jersey.[14] According to Politico: "The county line is New Jersey's unique primary ballot design where party-backed candidates are placed in a single column or row from the highest office to the lowest. Candidates not endorsed by county parties are often placed less prominently on primary ballots. Candidates who are on the county line have been shown to have a significant electoral advantage."[15] At the time of the injunction, the county line ballot design was used in 19 of New Jersey's 21 counties. Before Judge Quraishi issued the injunction, all three counties in the district endorsed Pascrell.[16]
As of April 28, 2024, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter and Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rated the general election Solid Democratic. Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball rated the general election Safe Democratic.

2013
Pascrell briefly considered running for Governor of New Jersey in 2013. He quashed most rumors that he wanted to challenge incumbent Chris Christie in his bid for re-election when he told a reporter. "I'm not pursuing that position," Pascrell said in a January interview.[164][165] He announced his endorsement of presumptive Democratic nominee Barbara Buono soon thereafter.[166]
2012
Pascrell ran for re-election in 2012. Because of New Jersey's redistricting, Pascrell faced fellow Democratic representative Steve Rothman in the June 5 primary. Pascrell previously represented New Jersey's 8th District, but redistricting put a significant chunk of Pascrell's territory in the new 9th District, along with some of Rothman's territory.[167] Pascrell defeated Rothman in the primary and faced Republican Shmuley Boteach and Independent E. David Smith in the November general election.[168][169]

Pascrell v. Rothman
Due to redistricting, Pascrell faced fellow Democratic incumbent Steve Rothman for the newly redrawn 9th District in 2012. The one-time friends faced off in the June 5 primary. Politico rated it one of the five ugliest member vs. member battles and the North Jersey Record labeled it one of the most competitive primaries of 2012.[170][167]
Redistricting
The 8th District was eliminated as a result of redistricting in New Jersey following the 2010 census results. Rothman's territory was split into the new 9th District, which became Pascrell's new district, and Republican Scott Garrett's 5th. Rather than face Garrett in the Republican-leaning new 5th District, Rothman chose to challenge his Democratic colleague, Pascrell. Pascrell resented this move, saying Rothman was "running from fights with the radical right."[171]
Ideological similarities
According to Roll Call, there was little policy or ideological difference between Rothman and Pascrell, so voters were left to choose a candidate based on personality and location. The newly drawn 9th District encompassed a variety of demographics, and the Roll Call article stated that Pascrell was strong in the working class Passaic County, while Rothman was more at home in the white-collar Bergen County. The 9th District also included Hudson County, which could have gone either way.[172]
TV ads
Rothman came under criticism for a TV ad his campaign ran against Pascrell. The New Jersey Star-Ledger editorial board wrote that Rothman made "cheap shots" against Pascrell, and said a fact-check showed the ad's claims were false.[173]
Israel
In early 2012, a group of New Jersey synagogues encouraged their members to vote for Rothman in the primary, citing his pro-Israel stance. This prompted American Arab Forum President Aref Assaf to write an Op-Ed against what he described as putting another country above the U.S. in voting decisions. Rothman responded that he did put America first, and Pascrell distanced himself from Assaf's comments.[174]

Personal Gain Index

- See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)
The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:
PGI: Change in net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Pascrell's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $1,794,039 and $4,188,000. That averages to $2,991,019.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Pascrell ranked as the 107th most wealthy representative in 2012.[184] Between 2004 and 2012, Pascrell's calculated net worth[185] increased by an average of 2 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[186]
Bill Pascrell Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2004 | $2,551,203 |
2012 | $2,991,019 |
Growth from 2004 to 2012: | 17% |
Average annual growth: | 2%[187] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[188] |
The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.
PGI: Donation Concentration Metric
Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Pascrell received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry.
From 1995-2014, 27.14 percent of Pascrell's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[189]
