New Jersey

The New Jersey State Senate is the upper house of the New Jersey Legislature, the law-making body for the state. It is composed of 40 members who each represent one legislative district, which are divided so each Senate seat represents an average population of approximately 210,359 residents (after the 2010 Census). Senators are elected to four-year terms on a staggered basis, with two-year terms resulting from reapportionment. The roles and responsibilities of the State Senate include proposing and voting on legislation, confirming gubernatorial appointments, and serving as the court of impeachment.
