U.S. House of Representatives

2018 election
Main article: 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in New Jersey § District 2

New Jersey's 2nd congressional district had been represented by Republican Frank LoBiondo since 1995, who served 11 terms before announcing his retirement on November 7, 2017. The district is the southernmost in New Jersey and the state's largest, encompassing rural farms from Salem County to the Jersey Shore and Atlantic City. President Barack Obama won the district in 2008 and 2012, and President Donald Trump won in 2016. Upon LoBiondo's retirement announcement, The Cook Political Report changed the district's rating in the 2018 midterms from "Safe Republican" to "Toss-Up".[19][20][21]

On November 29, 2017, Van Drew announced he would run for the open congressional seat, aiming "to bring economic opportunity and good jobs to South Jersey."[22] He was endorsed by the eight county chairs in the district, as well as New Jersey Democratic leader George Norcross.[21] In February 2018, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee included Van Drew in their Red to Blue program, which provided resources and donors to candidates in districts that were targeted to be flipped from Republican to Democrat.[23] In the primary campaign for the seat, Van Drew faced William Cunningham, Tanzie Youngblood,[19] and Nate Kleinman.[24] Sean Thom dropped out ahead of the June 5, 2018 primary.[25] As of May 16, Van Drew had raised $412,555 for his campaign.[26] On June 5, 2018, Van Drew won the Democratic primary with 55.4% of the vote. On the same night, former Atlantic County Freeholder Seth Grossman won the Republican nomination.[27]

Following Van Drew's win in the primary, The Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball changed the rating of the district to "Likely Democratic".[28][29] In the November 5 midterms, Van Drew ultimately won 52.9% of the vote, one of four New Jersey congressional districts to flip from Republican to Democratic. This made Van Drew the first Democrat to represent NJ-02 since 1995.[30]

2020 election
Main article: 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in New Jersey § District 2

In late November 2019, Van Drew vowed that he would remain as a Democrat, even though he opposed impeaching Trump.[31] In December 2019, it was reported that Van Drew was considering switching to the Republican Party for the 2020 elections.[32][33][34] Following a private meeting between Van Drew and President Trump,[35] most of his senior aides resigned in protest.[36][37] The planned conversion was met with praise and criticism by members of both parties.[38][39] After reports that he was planning to switch parties to the GOP, the Blue Dog Coalition, a caucus of fiscally conservative Democrats, dropped him from their ranks.[40] The Cook Political Report changed the rating for the district from "Toss-up" to "Leans Republican" on December 16, 2019.[41]

On December 19, 2019, Van Drew publicly announced his decision to join the Republican Party, telling Trump that he has his "undying support." As a result, Trump endorsed him for re-election.[42][6] In December 2019, Van Drew hired former Trump administration political director Bill Stepien as a 2020 campaign adviser.[43] Van Drew officially switched his party affiliation from Democratic to Republican on January 7, 2020.[7] On January 28, President Trump held a rally for Van Drew at the Wildwoods Convention Center, joined by the congressman, state senators Chris Brown and Mike Testa, and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.[44]

Following the primary he became the Republican candidate for the United States House of Representatives elections for New Jersey's 2nd Congressional District in which he will face Democratic candidate Amy Kennedy.[45]

Tenure
Van Drew in October 2019

Van Drew said during his campaign that, if elected, he would not support Nancy Pelosi to be the next Speaker of the House.[46][47] His first vote in Congress was "no" for Speaker which was recorded as "present" under the rules.[48]

In October 2019, he announced that he would oppose the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump.[49] On October 31, 2019, he and Collin Peterson were the only Democrats to vote against the rules for an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.[50][51] He was also one of two Democrats to vote against both articles of impeachment on December 18, 2019, along with Collin Peterson,[52] though it had already been leaked prior to the impeachment vote that he was planning to switch parties.[53]

Prior to switching parties, Van Drew voted in line with Democrats 89.7% of the time during his tenure in Congress.[54]

Caucus memberships

Political positions

In his run for state senate in 2007, Van Drew remarked, "I’m proud to be a Democrat because to me it always represented working people, middle class people and issues of compassion." Van Drew represented Republican-leaning Cape May County in the assembly, and accordingly took politically moderate positions.[55] He was one of the most conservative Democrats in the New Jersey state senate.[56] As of January 2020, FiveThirtyEight, which tracks Congressional votes, reports that Van Drew has voted with President Trump 11.7% of the time.[57]

During his congressional primary campaign, Van Drew had a 100% rating from the National Rifle Association (NRA).[58] In 2007 and 2008, Van Drew received $2,700 from the National Shooting Sports Foundation Inc., and in 2008, Van Drew received $1,000 from the NRA.[59] In 2010, Van Drew sponsored legislation that would allow residents to carry a handgun after going through a background check, taking a firearms training course, passing a test, and paying a $500 fee.[60] In 2013, Van Drew voted as the only Democrat against a series of 10 gun control bills following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.[61] Van Drew also voiced support for expanded background checks and the regulation for silencers. Despite his pro-gun stance, the gun-control group Moms Demand Action designated Van Drew a "Gun Sense Candidate".[59]

In 2012 as state senator, Van Drew voted against a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in New Jersey, one of two Democrats in opposition.[62] In 2013 during his reelection campaign, the non-profit New Jersey Family First sent out flyers stating that Van Drew "supports traditional marriage and letting the people vote on the definition of marriage," while his Republican opponent Susan Adelizzi Schmidt was in favor of same-sex marriage.[63]

Also in 2012, Van Drew voted against raising the state minimum wage above the federal minimum wage of $7.25, the lone Democrat to dissent.[64] On his campaign website, Van Drew highlighted his support for fully funding the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and protecting net neutrality.[65] Van Drew also supported a state constitutional amendment requiring parental approval for abortions, which he later withdrew. As state senator, he also withdrew sponsorship of a bill to reinstate the death penalty in the state, which he previously favored.[65][66]

Van Drew opposes offshore drilling on the Atlantic coast; in 2019 he joined Republican John Rutherford to introduce the Atlantic Coastal Economies Protection Act, which would prohibit seismic air gun testing in the Atlantic Ocean.[67] The state senator previously voted to withdraw from Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative,[65] and supported the construction of a pipeline through the Pinelands.[68]

As of 2019, Jeff van Drew had a 0% rating from the National Right to Life Coalition, 100% rating from Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and 0% from Conservative Review.[69] He said he is pro-choice but opposed to late-term abortions.[70]
