| Info | REEHOLDER ASSAD R. AKHTER was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Passaic County Board of Chosen Freeholders in 2016. He was elected in November 2017 to fill the remainder of that term and then re-elected in 2018 to a full three year term as Freeholder.
Prior to being a Freeholder, Assad worked for Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ) over the course of 11 years in both his Washington and New Jersey Congressional offices. In his capacity as Deputy Chief of Staff for the Congressman, he was directly responsible for managing the local district offices and staff for the 9th Congressional District of New Jersey. Before that assignment, Assad served as the Legislative Director in the Washington, DC office where he oversaw the Congressman’s legislative agenda and staff as he was tasked with coordinating the Congressman’s position on the House Ways & Means Committee, as well as staffing his assignment on the House Homeland Security Committee. During his time as Legislative Director, Assad was able to work on a number of momentous pieces of legislation including the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act - all of which were keystones to President Obama's legislative agenda during his first term. Assad currently serves on the Board of Directors at the Paterson YMCA, the Board of Directors at the Paterson Alliance and on the Corporate Advisory Council for the Wharton Institute for the Performing Arts.
As Freeholder, Assad serves on the Public Works and Health Committees. He also is also assigned as a Freeholder liaison to the Passaic County Board of Social Services, the Board of School Estimate, and the Open Space Advisory Committee.
Assad graduated from Seton Hall University with a Bachelor’s of Science degree from the School of Diplomacy and International Relations. He graduated from the Honors program and also received the Undergraduate Leadership Award from the School of Diplomacy and International Relations at graduation. Assad and his wife Saira are proud to be homeowners in the City of Paterson.
