Description:

Abstract:

This table lists NJ Legislative districts and the members of the New Jersey Senate and General Assembly who represent them for the 2012 - 2014 two-year Legislative Session. This table can be joined to NJ Legislative District polygon data using the legislative district ID field.
The appropriate version of the legislative district boundaries to use for this join is that of the 2011 reapportionment (either official; or unofficial, reprojected version.)

Purpose:

This table was created to supply representation information to the general public and to Geographic Information System users. By using a joined table which will be updated periodically, GIS users will not have to replace the entire spatial data set every two years after each election.
