The New Jersey gubernatorial election of 2013 took place on November 5, 2013, to elect the Governor of New Jersey. Incumbent Republican Governor Chris Christie ran for re-election to a second term in office.[1] He faced Democratic nominee Barbara Buono and six others in the general election. He was re-elected by a wide margin, tallying over 60 percent of the vote[2] Less than 40% of registered voters cast ballots, the lowest ever for a gubernatorial election.[3] Christie became the first Republican gubernatorial candidate to win more than 50 percent of the vote since Tom Kean, Sr.'s landslide victory in 1985.

Christie was criticized for spending an additional $12–25 million of state money to hold a special election for United States Senator for New Jersey three weeks earlier on October 16, instead of simply holding the special election on the general election day on November 5. The U.S. Senate election featured popular Newark mayor Cory Booker, a Democrat, who it was thought would attract more black and other minority voters who would be likely to vote for Christie's Democratic opponent Buono in the Governor's race.[4] Booker won the Senate election handily.

Araujo, Bergmanson, Boss, and Webster had their nominating petitions challenged by the New Jersey Democratic State Committee; only Webster's petitions were found to be valid therefore allowing his name to remain on the primary ballot with Buono.[12] Araujo and Boss subsequently filed new petitions to run in the general election as independents.[13]
