The 2017 New Jersey General Assembly elections were held on November 7, 2017, to elect members to all 80 seats of the New Jersey General Assembly. Prior to the elections, Democrats held a 52–28 majority in the lower house. Overall, the Democrats increased their majority by 2 to a super-majority at 54–26, due to holding all their seats as well as picking up open seats in District 2 and District 16. This tied Democrats for their largest majority since 1979.

Following the primary, Rible was nominated director of the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control by Governor Chris Christie. Rible resigned his Assembly seat on July 17 to accept the position.[13] A special convention was held on August 15, where local Republican committee members selected a candidate to serve the remaining months of Rible's term in addition to replacing him on the ballot. Three Republicans were running: former Belmar Borough Councilman James Bean, chairman of the Lakewood Republican Party Justin Flancbaum, and former mayor of Wall Ned Thomson. Wall school board member Ralph Addonizio and Monmouth County Freeholder Gary Rich also declared runs but later dropped out.[96][97] Thomson was selected as the replacement, receiving 83 votes to Flancbaum's 53 and Bean's 18, and was sworn into the Assembly on August 24.[98][99]
