2011, Coyle declined to run for re-election as her Bernards Township home was moved out of the district and the seat was won by Jack Ciattarelli, a member of the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Peter Biondi died two days after winning re-election, and was replaced by two appointments of the Republican County Committee members of the 16th district: Ciattarelli was appointed for the remainder of the 2010–2012 session and Readington Township committeewoman Donna Simon was appointed for the first part of the 2012–2014 session. Simon's appointment would only stand until a November 2012 special election; Simon faced Democrat Marie Corfield in the election to complete the remainder of the term. In the November 6 election which coincided with the general elections for President, U.S. Senate, and the House of Representatives, Simon defeated Corfield by just under 1,000 votes out of 91,000 ballots cast. Simon would be re-elected to a full term in 2013 with Ciattarelli but was defeated in 2015 in a close race by Democrat Andrew Zwicker in 2015. Initial counts showed Simon ahead of Zwicker on the night of the election (Ciattarelli was far enough ahead in first place to be ensured victory) but following the counting of provisional ballots, Simon conceded November 16.
