There currently are 12 United States congressional districts in New Jersey based on results from the 2010 Census. There were once as many as 15. The fifteenth district was lost after the 1980 Census, the fourteenth district was lost after the 1990 Census, and the thirteenth district was lost after the 2010 Census.

During the 114th Congress, Democrats held six seats, and Republicans held six seats, in New Jersey's delegation to the United States House of Representatives. The 115th Congress saw Democrats holding seven seats and Republicans holding five, with Democrat Josh Gottheimer defeating seven-term Republican incumbent Scott Garrett in New Jersey's 5th congressional district. During the 2018 federal midterm elections, Democratic candidates Tom Malinowski, Mikie Sherrill, Jeff Van Drew, and Andy Kim won an additional four seats for their party. This left Chris Smith in the 4th district as the only Republican member of New Jersey's congressional delegation for the 116th Congress. Van Drew, however, left the Democratic Party on December 19, 2019, to become a Republican.
