"Jay" Webber[1] (born February 29, 1972) is an American Republican politician, who has served in the New Jersey General Assembly since January 8, 2008, where he represents the 26th legislative district. He served as Chairman of the New Jersey Republican State Committee from June 2009 until January 2011. He was the Republican nominee in the 2018 election for New Jersey's 11th congressional district, but was defeated by Democrat Mikie Sherrill.[2] Early life and educationWebber was born in Teaneck, New Jersey. Raised in Clifton, he attended Saint Joseph Regional High School.[3] He received a B.A. from Johns Hopkins University with a major in international studies, and earned a J.D. from Harvard Law School.[4] Before becoming a practicing attorney, he served as a legislative aide to William J. Martini during his term in Congress and clerked for New Jersey Supreme Court justice Peter Verniero.[5][6] Political careerNew Jersey General AssemblyAt the age of 30 in 2003, Webber ran in the Republican primary against incumbent State Senator Robert Martin by running to the right of the senator.[5] Martin defeated Webber by approximately 1,900 votes, 15 percentage points from the total vote.[7] In 2007, following the retirement of Martin from the Senate and incumbent Assemblyman Joseph Pennacchio deciding to run for Martin's seat, Webber ran in the Republican primary for Pennacchio's Assembly seat. Incumbent Alex DeCroce took the most votes in the June primary (9,833 votes or 41.1%) while Webber advanced to the November general election by coming in second (7,679 votes, 32.2%) defeating Kinnelon councilman Larry Casha (6,369 votes, 26.7%).[8][9] Webber was elected in the general election and has subsequently been re-elected every two years since then. Webber serves in the Assembly on the Appropriation Committee, Financial Institutions & Insurance Committee, and the Homeland Security & State Preparedness Committee.[10] In 2011, Webber was the Republican Co-chair of the 2011 New Jersey Apportionment Commission, the group charged with redrawing the lines for the state legislative districts following the 2010 Census.[11] Webber is a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council, serving as one of two New Jersey state leaders (Senator Steve Oroho is the other New Jersey co-chair).[12] Each of the 40 districts in the New Jersey Legislature has one representative in the New Jersey Senate and two members in the New Jersey General Assembly. The other representatives from the 26th District for the 2018-19 legislative session are Senator Joseph Pennacchio and Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce.[13] On June 11, 2009, Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie announced his selection of Webber to succeed Tom Wilson as chairman of the New Jersey Republican State Committee.[14] State Committee members unanimously supported the selection of Webber in a vote on June 17, 2009.[15] Webber announced that he would be leaving the Chairman's post in January 2011, and was succeeded by Sam Raia.[16] In the assembly, he voted against banning conversion therapy for minors [17][18] [19]. 2018 U.S. House campaignOn February 3, 2018, Webber announced he would officially run for the U.S. House seat representing New Jersey's 11th congressional district, after incumbent Rodney Frelinghuysen announced on January 29 that he would not seek reelection. Webber received the Republican Party nomination in the June 6 primary election, defeating Anthony Ghee and Peter DeNeufville.[20] He was defeated by Democratic nominee Mikie Sherrill in the November general election. Sherrill won 56.2% of the vote to Webber's 42.7%, defeating him by 13.5%, a 33 percentage-point shift in the vote share towards the Democrat compared to the last election. It was the largest partisan swing of any district in the 2018 House Elections.[21] Personal lifeHe is married to Johanna, with whom he has seven children. He is a resident of Morris Plains. He owns a law firm based in Whippany. References1. ^James K. Webber, Webber McGill LLC.
