Jack M. Ciattarelli (born December 12, 1961)[1] is an American Republican Party politician who has served in the New Jersey General Assembly since December 2011, representing the 16th legislative district.

Early life

Ciattarelli was born in Somerville, New Jersey on December 12, 1961 and was raised in neighboring Raritan. His grandparents had immigrated to Raritan borough in the 1900s. He graduated from Seton Hall University with a B.S. degree in accounting and an M.B.A. degree in finance.[1][2] He served on the Raritan Borough Council from 1990 to 1995 and was the council president from 1991 until 1995. He was also elected to the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders from 2007 to November 2011 when he resigned to become a Assemblyman.[2][3]

State Legislature

In 2011, Ciattarelli ran for the open General Assembly seat in the 16th legislative district, vacated by Denise Coyle, who chose not to run for re-election due to redistricting. On November 8, 2011, he and his running mate Peter J. Biondi defeated the Democratic candidates, Marie Corfield and Joe Camarota.[4] Biondi died two days after the election, and Ciattarelli was selected to fill out the remainder of his term. After stepping down from his freeholder position, he was sworn in on December 5, 2011. He was sworn into his full term on January 10, 2012.[5]

In the Assembly, Ciattarelli serves on the Financial Institutions and Insurance and the Regulated Professions committees. He has been an Assistant Republican Whip since 2014.[1]
