Senator Joe Coniglio (Paramus), Assemblyman Bob Gordon (Fair Lawn) and Assemblywoman Joan Voss (Fort Lee) represent the district in Trenton.  These three legislators come from the three largest towns in the district.

In 2006 Menendez was the only candidate to not win any of the towns in the 38th.  He lost in Hasbrouck Heights, Paramus, Saddle Brook and South Hackensack.  Paul Aronsohn won Paramus and Steve Rothman was victorious in every other town.  The county candidates also carried every town.

There are 26,629 registered Democrats, 17,634 registered Republicans and 62,483 unaffiliated voters.

In 2005, Gordon and Voss lost only two towns, Hasbrouck Heights and Ridgefield.  Each town they lost by under 100 votes.  They won re-election by over 10,000 votes each. 

Just like the 36th, the 38th will receive a lot of help from the BCDO.
