Murray Sabrin (born December 21, 1946) is a professor of finance in the Anisfield School of Business at Ramapo College and a perennial candidate for public office in New Jersey.

Family, education, and affiliations

[edit]

Sabrin was born in Bad Wörishofen, Germany on December 21, 1946. His parents, being of Jewish ancestry, were among the only people in his family to survive the Holocaust.[1] Sabrin has said "during World War Two, my father, a Jewish resistance fighter in Lithuania, fought for his freedom and his life with a gun. I'm alive today because of him."[2] Sabrin arrived in the U.S. with his older brother and parents in August 1949 and became a United States citizen in 1959.

He lived with his wife, Florence, in Fort Lee, New Jersey.[3] He moved to Florida in 2021.[4]

Sabrin has a Ph.D.ingeography from Rutgers University, an M.A. in social studies education from Lehman College and a B.A. in history, geography and social studies education from Hunter College.[5] He has worked in commercial real estate sales and marketing, personal portfolio management, and economic research.[3]

Sabrin is the former executive director of the Center for Business and Public Policy at Ramapo College,[6] and is the author of Tax Free 2000: The Rebirth of American Liberty.

Policy advocacy and opinion writing

[edit]

Sabrin's articles have appeared in The Record (Hackensack, New Jersey), The Star Ledger, Trenton Times, and Asbury Park Press. His essays have also appeared in Commerce Magazine, Mid-Atlantic Journal of Business, Privatization Review, and LewRockwell.com.[7] Sabrin is a contributing columnist for NJBIZ[8] and writes a column on the economy for START-IT magazine. He is a regular columnist for NJVoices[9] and USADaily.[10][11]

He is writing a book on politics, the economy and culture titled Velvet Fascism: How the Political Elites Transformed America.[3]

Political career

[edit]

Sabrin was the 1997 Libertarian Party gubernatorial candidate in New Jersey, and the first third party candidate to receive matching funds and participate in three official debates.[12] He garnered 5% of the vote in the election, and the race went to Christine Todd Whitman. In 2008 Sabrin ran as a candidate for the Republican Party nomination for the United States Senate representing New Jersey, where he faced Republican state Senator Joseph Pennacchio and former Republican Congressman Dick Zimmer.[13] Promoting limited government and noninterventionism, he received endorsements from the Republican Liberty Caucus[14] and U.S. Presidential candidate Ron Paul.[15] He garnered 14% of the vote, behind Zimmer (46%) and Pennacchio (40%).[16] He sought the Republican nomination to the same seat in 2014,[17] but lost to Jeff Bell.[18]

In January 2018, he announced his intention to run for the U.S. Senate again, this time under the New Jersey Libertarian Party.[19]

Political positions
