John Herbert Adler (born August 23, 1959) is the Congressman for New Jersey's 3rd congressional district. A member of the Democratic Party, he has been a member of the New Jersey State Senate since 1992, where he represented the 6th Legislative District. Adler was Democratic Conference Chair from 2002-03 and Assistant Minority Leader from 1994-2001.[1]
Adler was one of the first elected officials in New Jersey to endorse Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination in a state where the party establishment supported Hillary Clinton.
Senator Adler currently serves on the Judiciary Committee (as Chair) and the Environment Committee. Prior to his election to the Senate, Adler served on the Cherry Hill Township Council from 1988-1989. He has served on the New Jersey Israel Commission since 1995, and on the New Jersey Intergovernmental Relations Commission from 1994-2002.[1]
On July 28, 2006, Senator Adler was appointed Co-Chairman of the Joint Legislative Committee on Public School Funding Reform along with Assemblyman Herb Conaway.
On October 7, 2003, along with Rep. Bill Pascrell of New Jersey's 8th Congressional District, Sen. Adler formally endorsed Senator John Kerry for President and became the Co-Chairman of John Kerry's campaign in the Garden State. Shortly afterwards on December 19, 2003, Governor of New Jersey Jim McGreevey and most of the New Jersey Democratic Party came out in support of Former Governor of Vermont Howard Dean for President. Because of this endorsement for Kerry, and Kerry's decisive win in the Democratic Primary, Senator Adler was rumored as the frontrunner for U.S. Attorney for New Jersey if the Senator from Massachusetts had won the 2004 presidential election.
Adler received a A.B. from Harvard College in Government, and earned a J.D. from Harvard Law School.[1] He was born in Philadelphia, and currently resides in Cherry Hill Township.[
