The 1991 New Jersey General Assembly election was held on November 5, 1991.

The elections took place midway through Jim Florio's term as Governor of New Jersey. As in the concurrent New Jersey Senate elections, the Republican Party won a historic landslide, gaining 21 seats to win veto-proof supermajorities in both chambers of the state legislature. Republicans flipped at least one seat in thirteen Assembly districts and both seats in eight districts, dominating in the New Jersey suburbs and reducing the Democratic Party to a handful of urban centers.

As of 2026, the Republican Assembly majority of 58 seats is the largest for the Republican party since the adoption of the district map in 1973. This is the last time that Republicans held a veto-proof majority in the chamber, and the last for either party until 2017. Republicans flipped one seat in districts 1, 2, 15, 21, and 34, as well as both seats in districts 4, 7, 10, 11, 14, 18, 19, and 36. From 1992 to 2002, Republicans controlled the Assembly.

New Jersey Legislature before (left) and after (right) the 1991 redistricting

As required, the New Jersey legislature redistricted its state legislative districts in advance of the 1991 election. Redistricting was on balance considered to have favored Republicans.[2]

Tax increase

A centerpiece of the Florio administration's legislative agenda was the passage of a $2.8 billion tax increase. Republicans centered their 1991 campaign on opposition to the increase, as did even some incumbent Democrats, such as Senator Paul Contillo.[2] According to the Florio administration, the tax increase was designed to aid blue-collar workers, who were "also the people most upset by enactment of the taxes."[2]

Gun control

A strict gun control measure was another major legislative achievement of the Florio administration. The bill's passage led the National Rifle Association of America to spend nearly $250,000 in the 1991 elections targeting candidates in both parties who had voted in favor of the bill and supporting those who pledged to repeal it.[3]
