John D. Herbert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John D. Herbert is an American lawyer who served two terms as Ohio State Treasurer from 1963 to 1971.

A Republican, he was the son of Thomas J. Herbert, who was Governor of Ohio from 1947 to 1949.

In 1970, Herbert won the Republican nomination for Ohio Attorney General, but lost because of his connections to the "Crofters" scandal in which Republicans were accused of steering state investments to campaign contributors. The scandal brought down nearly the entire Republican ticket in 1970 and helped elect John J. Gilligan governor.

Herbert is a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio and is corporate counsel to the Ace Doran Hauling and Rigging Company.
