New Jersey's 6th congressional district is represented byDemocratFrank Pallone, who has served the district in Congress since 1993. The district includes the northern and eastern portions ofMiddlesex County and the coastal areas ofMonmouth County, including towns along theRaritan Bay.

Following the redistricting process in 2021, the 6th district remained similar to its prior configuration, though it gained the liberal towns ofNeptune Township andRed Bank, while losing the more conservativeMarlboro Township, among other minor changes.^[3] According to estimates fromThe Cook Political Report, the district became slightly more Democratic after redistricting.^[4]
