Asm. Patrick Chludzinski
Patrick Chludzinski represents AD-143, a D+19 district where Democrats hold a 43.4% to 24.3% registration advantage over Republicans, with 26.1% enrolled as independents — a predominantly white (74.7%), homeowning (71.2%) suburban district with a median household income of $68,931. Chludzinski, a Republican first elected in 2024, won his seat by just 3.8 points over incumbent Monica Piga Wallace, flipping a district she had held since 2018; the seat has been competitive in recent cycles, with Wallace winning by 5.2 and 5.0 points in 2022 and 2020, and the 2026 outlook ranges from Toss-up in a favorable Republican environment to Likely D in a favorable Democratic environment. In his first session, Chludzinski sponsored 20 bills, with his primary focus areas spanning Executive, Penal, and Tax law (3 bills each), followed by Environmental Conservation and Highway (2 bills each), and single bills in Civil Rights, Criminal Procedure, and Education. No committee chairmanship or lobbying sector data was available in this brief.AI
