Assemblyman Michael J. Panter

Michael J. Panter (born October 10, 1969) is an American Democratic Party politician, who has served in the New Jersey General Assembly since 2004, where he represents the 12th legislative district. Panter serves in the Assembly on the Environment and Solid Waste Committee (as Vice Chair) and on the Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee.

In unofficial results from balloting on Election Day, November 8, 2005, in the 12th district, covering portions of Monmouth and Mercer counties, Republican challenger Jennifer Beck had an edge of over 1,000 votes for one of the two seats in the district. Fewer than three hundred votes separated Republican challenger Declan O'Scanlon and the one-term incumbent Democrats Robert Lewis Morgan and Panter, leaving the race too close to call with O'Scanlon leading. Changes resulting from a malfunctioning voting machine in Marlboro and provisional ballots eventually gave Panter a 65-vote lead over O'Scanlon, and the second seat in the district.

Panter received a B.A. from Syracuse University in History and was awarded a J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1995.
