Jack Conners (born July 10,1943) is an American Democratic Party politician who served in the New Jersey General Assembly,where he represented the 7th Legislative District from 1998 until his resignation in 2011.
In the 1997 elections,Republican Diane Allen left the Assembly and ran for and won the Senate seat,while Democrats Herb Conaway and Conners were declared the winners in that year's Assembly race,after a recount which showed that Conaway was the top vote-getter and Conners winning the second seat by a margin of 74 votes. [1] After eight months in office following his being sworn into office in January 1998,the courts threw out the results of the 1997 election due to problems with 160 uncounted ballots from a voting machine that affected the results for the second seat. Conners was ordered to leave office in September 1998 and Republican Ken Faulkner was seated in his place. [2] In a November 1998 special election,Conners defeated Faulkner by 5,500 votes and was sworn into office for a second time that year. [3] [4]

[5] Conners attended La Salle University and the Rutgers University Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. [5] He is a resident of Pennsauken Township. [6]
On March 29,2011,Conners announced that he would not seek another term to the Assembly in 2011,due to the redrawing of his district that moved his hometown of Pennsauken into a district that primarily included Camden County municipalities,while his current district had been largely based in Burlington County. He announced his resignation on August 26,2011,effective immediately to accept a position with Camden County as its director of veterans' affairs. [7] Conners was succeeded in the Assembly by Troy Singleton,who was selected to fill the vacant seat and defended it as an incumbent in the general election. [8]
