In the race to replace Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey on Tuesday, Philip D. Murphy, a Democrat and former Wall Street banker, defeated Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, a Republican and the second in command to Mr. Christie.

The New York Times looked at where the candidates fall on a range of crucial policy issues. Mr. Murphy favors raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, legalizing marijuana and creating tougher gun laws. Ms. Guadagno has made reducing property taxes a centerpiece of her campaign.
