The 33rd Legislative District features state Senator Brian Stack (D-33), who is also the Union City mayor which is in the district, is seeking re-election alongside former North Bergen Commissioner Julio Marenco and ex-West New York Mayor Gabriel Rodriguez.
That ticket, along with County Commissioner Fanny Cedeno (D-7), the Union City candidate, is unopposed.
