John "Jack" Casey (June 1, 1935 – February 24, 2019) was an American Democratic Party politician who served one four-year term in the New Jersey Senate, where he represented the 7th Legislative District from 1994 to 1998. Casey also served in the New Jersey General Assembly in 1991.

Key Information

Casey earned an associate degree from Rider College with a major in business. He was employed as an audit manager for Philadelphia Financial Corporation. He served as Treasurer of Burlington County, New Jersey from 1975 to 1978 and was mayor of Palmyra from 1984 to 1987.[1]

In a party convention in January 1991, Casey was chosen to fill the remaining portion of the term remaining in the General Assembly seat that had been vacated by Thomas P. Foy the previous month.[2] As part of what the Philadelphia Inquirer described as an "anti-tax tidal wave [that] swept seven South Jersey Democrats from their legislative seats", Foy was defeated in the Senate race in the 7th District, while Casey and fellow incumbent Barbara Kalik lost to Republicans Priscilla B. Anderson and Jose Sosa.[3][4]

Casey was elected to the Senate in 1993, defeating Republican incumbent Bradford S. Smith.[5] Casey had been a last-minute choice to fill an opening on the Democratic ballot and his win accounted for one of the three seats picked up by the Democrats in the 1993 elections.[6] In the Senate, Casey served on the Community Affairs Committee, the Economic Growth, Agriculture and Tourism Committee and the State Management, Investments and Financial Institutions Committee.[1]

Casey did not run for re-election in 1997, and in the Senate race that year Republican Diane Allen defeated the Democratic nominee Robert P. Broderick.[7]

Casey died on February 24, 2019, at the age of 83.[8]

Born in Troy, New York, a former industrial mill city across the Hudson River from Albany, Casey left his hometown for a decade to attend Yale University and the University of Edinburgh. During this period, he worked painting houses in California, taught at a prestigious boarding school in Connecticut, and hitchhiked extensively through America, Europe, and Mexico. Upon returning to Troy, he earned his law license and built a legal career spanning three decades, litigating civil, criminal, and constitutional cases in state and federal courts while also advising New York state legislators on law and politics. In addition to his legal practice, Casey has held diverse roles including laborer, bartender, and news reporter, experiences that have enriched his creative work. He writes novels, short stories, and songs, drawing inspiration from the many memorable individuals he has encountered throughout his varied life. His notable published novels include Hamilton's Choice, Kateri, Bat Shea, and Into the Heartland. Casey is married to Victoria, whom he met in a Manhattan elevator, and they divide their time between upstate New York and Raleigh, North Carolina.

Early life and background

Jack Casey was born in Troy, New York, a former industrial mill city across the Hudson River from Albany. He left his hometown for a period to attend Yale University, where he earned his BA cum laude in 1972, and studied literature at the University of Edinburgh. During this time away, he worked painting houses in California, taught at a prestigious boarding school in Connecticut, and hitchhiked extensively through America, Europe, and Mexico. Upon returning to Troy, he attended Albany Law School, earning his JD cum laude in 1987 before beginning his legal career. Jack Casey has no documented career in the film industry as an actor, stunt performer, makeup artist, or in any other production role. Note: A separate individual named Jack Casey (1886–1956) was a Hollywood makeup artist and occasional actor associated with Hal Roach Studios. Additionally, a 2022 Hallmark Channel film, The Trial Before Christmas, was inspired by a play co-written by Casey (with Duncan Crary), but this represents adaptation of his written work rather than personal involvement in filmmaking.

They were married just before the pandemic and divide their time between upstate New York and Raleigh, North Carolina.

Death

Jack Casey is alive and continues his work as an author and attorney, dividing his time between upstate New York and Raleigh, North Carolina. There is no record of his death, and claims of a 1956 death pertain to a different individual with the same name who worked as a makeup artist in Hollywood.
