Joseph Patrick Tumulty

Joseph Patrick Tumulty (pronounced TUM-ulty) (May 5, 1879-April 19, 1954) was an American attorney and politician from New Jersey.

After graduating from Saint Peter's College, New Jersey in 1901, Tumulty was active in Democratic state politics in New Jersey. He served in the New Jersey General Assembly from 1907-1910. He acted as an advisor to Woodrow Wilson in his 1910 gubernatorial campaign. He then served as Wilson's private secretary in 1911, when Wilson was Governor of New Jersey and from 1913-1921 when Wilson was President of the United States. This position would in later years become the Chief of Staff to the President of the United States.

After his time in the White House, Tumulty authored the biography "Woodrow Wilson As I Knew Him" (1921).
