Jerrold Lewis Nadler, sometimes called Jerry Nadler (born June 13, 1947) is an American politician from New York City. A Democrat, Nadler represents New York's 8th congressional district which includes parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York City.
Nadler's district includes most of midtown Manhattan, including the site where the World Trade Center stood. It also includes the neighborhoods of Chelsea, Hell's Kitchen, and Greenwich Village, as well as parts of Brooklyn such as Coney Island, Bensonhurst, Boro Park and Bay Ridge. His district includes many of New York City's most popular tourist attractions, including the Empire State Building, Central Park, Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and New York Stock Exchange.
Nadler was born in Brooklyn and graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1965 (where his debate team partner was the future philosopher of science, Alexander Rosenberg, and his successful campaign for student government president was managed by Dick Morris). Nadler graduated from Columbia University and Fordham University School of Law. He worked for Eugene McCarthy in the 1968 presidential campaign and was elected to the New York State Assembly in 1976. In 1992, Ted Weiss was expected to run for reelection in the 8th District, which had been renumbered from the 17th after the 1990 U.S. Census. However, Weiss died a day before the primary election. Nadler was nominated to replace Weiss. He was elected easily that November, winning the seat in his own right and a special election to serve the rest of Weiss' term. He has been reelected with little serious competition in one of the most Democratic districts in the country; a Republican has not represented this district or its predecessors in over a century.
In Congress, Nadler is a member of the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary and Transportation and Infrastructure committees. He is the chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution.
Voting record
Nadler has a consistenly progressive voting record in the House. He first came to national prominence during the impeachment of Bill Clinton, when he described the process as a "partisan railroad job."
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Nadler helped to pass bills for the families of those killed and small businesses that were harmed due to the attacks.
Nadler has also promoted legislation to extend Medicare benefits to individuals suffering from Ground Zero illness (physical ailments from the dust from the attacks) or mental health problems as a result of the September 11 attacks.
This Medicare proposal includes a section that provides for a consortium of organization to study Ground Zero illness.
He received an 'A' on the Drum Major Institute's 2005 Congressional Scorecard on middle-class issues.
Personal life
In 2002, Nadler had laparoscopic duodenal switch surgery, helping him lose more than 100 pounds. He lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with his wife and son. In 2006, Nadler was interviewed by Stephen Colbert for The Colbert Report's recurring feature, "Better Know a District".
