Monmouth Park in Oceanport, and Freehold Raceway are important economic generators for the economy of the 12th Legislative district, represented by Karcher and Panter in Trenton:

Napolitano won 2,303 votes and Stanton received 2,044 -- more than the Republican margin of victory in this district. Jennifer Beck ran nearly 1,300 votes ahead of Morgan, while Declan O'Scanlon is leading Panter by about 107 votes. Democrats say the strong showing of the Green Party was a result of the Asbury Park Press' endorsement of only the Green candidate in the race for Monmouth County Freeholder.
