The 1st Legislative District in the state of New Jersey has changed. A special state commission voted Sunday in favor of a new legislative map, and now Cape May County is together with most of Cumberland County in the new district. The new 1st District also includes Corbin City, Estell Manor, and Weymouth Township, all located in Atlantic County. Cape May County Republican Party Chairman Mike Donohue says the district has picked up some solidly republican areas, and a big stretch of the Delaware bayfront. County republicans will meet next Saturday to pick its slate of candidates for the Senate and Assembly races in November.
