| + | |

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Prior to being elected to the House, Garrett served in the [[w:New Jersey General Assembly|New Jersey General Assembly]] (the lower house of the [[w:New Jersey Legislature|New Jersey Legislature]]) from 1990 to 2002 representing the [[w:New Jersey Legislature#District 24|24th legislative district]], covering all of Sussex County and several municipalities in Morris and Hunterdon counties.

| − | | + | |
| − | ===Congressional career===
| + | |
| − | He made two previous runs for the 5th District seat in the Republican primary, but was defeated each time by longtime incumbent [[Marge Roukema]]. When Roukema decided not to seek a 12th term in 2002, Garrett ran for and won the Republican nomination despite Roukema endorsing his major opponent. He faced Anne Sumers, a former Republican turned Democrat, in the general election. Sumers' chances decreased significantly after she made several ill-advised comments about the U.S.-Taliban conflict on an Internet message board, and Garrett won in a rout. He was reelected almost as easily in 2004 with 58% of the vote. He declined to debate [[Anne Wolfe]], his Democratic opponent, several times.
