Rep. Jerry Nadler (75) is an American attorney who has served as the U.S. representative of New York for 15 congressional terms and has been the chairperson of the House Judiciary Committee for the past three years. He recently defeated another Democrat incumbent Rep. Carolyn Maloney in the primary when the congressional districts were changed.
His district comprises much of the west side of Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn, but it will change in the election. He is expected to beat Republican Michael Zumbluskas in the fall.
Nadler has not always seen eye-to-eye with other Democrats in handling former President Donald Trump‘s impeachments and has been at odds with others including Rep. Adam Schiff.
Despite his Congressional salary of at least $174,000 per year, his finances have not always been in the black. He has been reported to have less than $50,000 in assets and a state pension of about $20,000 per year, while having up to $265,000 in liabilities as of 2018, according to Open Secrets.
