^DiFilippo, Dana. "A record-setting election for Republican women in N.J.", New Jersey Monitor, November 8, 2021. Accessed January 10, 2022. "Indeed, it was a record-setting year for Republican women, with voters last week electing as many as seven female GOP newcomers to the Assembly — the most ever, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University (the Associated Press has still not called some of the races). The previous record was four in 2007, said Debbie Walsh, the center’s director.... Seven other incumbent Republican women held onto seats in the Legislature, as well."
