Jeffrey A. Warsh

Jeffrey A. Warsh (born September 21, 1960) is an American Republican Party politician who served two terms in the New Jersey General Assembly, from 1992 to 1996, where he represented the 18th Legislative District, which covers portions of Middlesex County. He later served as Executive Director of New Jersey Transit.

In the 1991 statewide Republican landslide, triggered in the wake of Governor of New Jersey Jim Florio's $2.8 billion tax increase package, Warsh and running mate Harriet E. Derman were elected to the General Assembly, knocking off Democratic incumbent George A. Spadoro and his running mate Michael Baker, while Jack Sinagra took the Senate seat vacated by Democrat Thomas H. Paterniti. Derman and Warsh won re-election in 1993, defeating former Assemblymember Thomas H. Paterniti and his running mate Matthew Vaughn.

Warsh grew up in New Milford, New Jersey. An attorney with the Eatontown firm of Ansell Zaro Bennett & Grimm, Warsh earned his undergraduate degree from Franklin & Marshall College and was awarded a law degree from Emory University School of Law. While in office, in June 1995, Warsh married Amy Frances Loeb, a producer of television and radio commercials.

A resident of Edison, New Jersey, Warsh and Stephen A. Mikulak sponsored a bill in 1992 that would ban the use of radar-equipped traffic enforcement cameras by law enforcement agencies in New Jersey, arguing that the system was "nothing less than a full, frontal assault on the system of American jurisprudence" that would replace "the tradition that we are innocent until proven guilty." Warsh served in the Assembly as chair of the Regulatory and Oversight Committee.
