'''Jerrold Lewis Nadler''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|n|æ|d|l|ər}}; born June 13, 1947) is an American lawyer and politician from the state of New York. A resident of Manhattan's [[Upper West Side]] and a member of the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]], he has served as a [[United States House of Representatives|U.S. Congressman]]  since 1992. From 1992 until 2022, Nadler's district covered the west side of Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn, being numbered the {{ushr|NY|17|c}}, then the {{ushr|NY|8|c}}, and then the {{ushr|NY|10|c}} in 2013. Since 2023, he has represented the [[NY-12|12th district]], which covers both the west and east sides of Manhattan from 14th Street to 110th Street. Before his election to Congress, he served eight terms as a [[New York state assembly]]man. Nadler is the dean of New York's U.S. House delegation and is known for his liberal record and close local ties.

=== Elections ===

In 1992, Democratic representative [[Ted Weiss]] was expected to run for reelection in the 8th district, which had been renumbered from the 17th after the [[1990 United States census|1990 U.S. census]]. However, Weiss died a day before the [[Partisan primary|primary election]], and Nadler was nominated to replace Weiss. He ran in and won two elections on Election Day. He was unopposed in a special election to serve the rest of Weiss's eighth term in the old 17th district, and easily won a regular election for a full two-year term in the new 8th district.

Nadler's district was renumbered as the 10th district in 2013.{{citation needed|date=April 2025}} From 2013 to 2023, the 10th district included Manhattan's west side from the [[Upper West Side]] down to [[Battery Park]], including the [[World Trade Center (2001–present)|World Trade Center]]; the Manhattan neighborhoods of [[Chelsea, Manhattan|Chelsea]], [[Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan|Hell's Kitchen]] and [[Greenwich Village]]; and parts of Brooklyn, such as [[Coney Island]], [[Bensonhurst]], [[Borough Park, Brooklyn|Borough Park]], and [[Bay Ridge]].

Despite earlier [[efforts to impeach George W. Bush]]<ref>Turner, Douglas (February 27, 2006). "Working Up the Nerve Toward 'Impeachment'". ''[[The Buffalo News]]''. p.

Nadler chaired the [[United States House Committee on Judiciary|House Judiciary Committee]] from 2019 to 2023.{{citation needed|date=April 2025}}

On a similar note, referring to hypothetical impeachment proceedings against President [[Donald Trump|Trump]] that would begin in the newly elected Democrat-controlled House, he suggested a "three-pronged test" that "would make for a legitimate impeachment proceeding". Such a test would include "the offenses in question must be so grave", and "the evidence so clear", that "even some supporters of the president concede that impeachment is necessary". If it was determined that the president committed an impeachable offense, lawmakers must consider if such an offense would "rise to the gravity where it's worth putting the country through the trauma of an impeachment proceeding," Nadler said.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Oprysko |first1=Caitlin |title=House Dem: Impeaching Trump on party lines would 'tear the country apart' |url=https://www.politico.com/story/2018/11/26/nadler-evidence-impeachable-offense-trump-1014702 |website=[[Politico]] |date=November 26, 2018 |access-date=November 27, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181126174912/https://www.politico.com/story/2018/11/26/nadler-evidence-impeachable-offense-trump-1014702 |archive-date=November 26, 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref>

On May 28, 2025 an aide at Nadler's district office in New York City was detained and handcuffed by [[United States Department of Homeland Security|Department of Homeland Security]] officers. The officers accused Nadler's staffers of "harboring rioters" and demanded access to his office, claiming that they didn't need a warrant, which Nadler says is incorrect. After the officers conducted a security check of the office, the aide was later released with no charges filed and Nadler is demanding that there be a congressional investigation into the incident and that Secretary of Homeland Security [[Kristi Noem]] testify.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.axios.com/2025/06/02/jerry-nadler-ice-investigation-trump-jim-jordan|title=Rep.

== Political positions ==

=== Surveillance ===

Nadler was unhappy with the passage of the surveillance-reform compromise bill, the [[FISA of 1978 Amendments Act of 2008]], saying it "abandons the Constitution's protections and insulates lawless behavior from legal scrutiny".<ref name="Federal Powers">{{cite news |title=House Passes Bill on Federal Wiretapping Powers |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/21/washington/21fisacnd.html |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=June 21, 2008 |access-date=February 9, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180816074652/https://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/21/washington/21fisacnd.html?ref=us |archive-date=August 16, 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Income taxes ===

Nadler compared Obama's acceptance of Republican demands to extend the [[Bush tax cuts]] at the highest income levels to someone's being roughed up by the mob, asserting that the Republicans would allow the middle class tax cut only if millionaires and billionaires receive a long-term tax cut as well.<ref name="GOP Gangsters">{{cite news |title=Nadler: On Taxes GOP Are a Bunch of Gangsters |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nadler-on-taxes-gop-are-a-bunch-of-gangsters/ |publisher=[[CBS News]] |date=December 12, 2010 |access-date=August 17, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004215826/http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-3460_162-7143039.html |archive-date=October 4, 2013 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Nadler has proposed changing the income tax brackets to reflect different regions and their costs of living, which would have lowered the tax rate for New Yorkers.<ref name="Fairness is Debated">{{cite news|title=Tax Burdens Tilt Coastal, and System's Fairness Is Debated|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/12/your-money/taxes/tax-burdens-tilt-coastal-and-systems-fairness-is-debated.html|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=November 11, 2011|access-date=February 9, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190805123547/https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/12/your-money/taxes/tax-burdens-tilt-coastal-and-systems-fairness-is-debated.html?pagewanted=all|archive-date=August 5, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Tax Revolt">{{cite news|title=Liberal Tax Revolt|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703467304575383233009284878|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=July 23, 2010|access-date=August 8, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170712033158/https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703467304575383233009284878|archive-date=July 12, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> He has opposed tax breaks for high-income earners, saying that the country cannot afford it.<ref name="GOP Gangsters" />

=== LGBT rights ===
[[File:Jerrold Nadler marches in New York City's gay pride parade.jpg|thumb|Nadler at [[NYC Pride March|New York City's Gay Pride parade]] in 2004]]
Nadler supports [[same-sex marriage]], and [[Anti-discrimination law|anti-discrimination protections]] on the basis of [[sexual orientation]] and [[gender identity]].

On September 15, 2009, Nadler and two other representatives introduced the [[Respect for Marriage Act]], a proposed bill that would have repealed the [[Defense of Marriage Act]] and required the federal government to recognize the validity of same-sex marriages.<ref>Eleveld, Kerry (September 15, 2009).

Retrieved September 15, 2009.</ref>

In 2019, Nadler supported the [[Equality Act (United States)|Equality Act]], a bill that would expand the federal [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]] to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.<ref>{{cite news |title=House Debate on the Equality Act |url=https://www.c-span.org/video/?460685-3/house-debate-equality-act |work=[[C-SPAN]] |date=May 17, 2019 |access-date=January 27, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190804153435/https://www.c-span.org/video/?460685-3%2Fhouse-debate-equality-act |archive-date=August 4, 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Immigration ===

In March 2019, as the House debated President Trump's veto of a measure unwinding his declaration of a national emergency at the southern border, Nadler said: "I'm convinced that the president's actions are unlawful and deeply irresponsible. A core foundation of our system of government and of democracies across the world, going back hundreds of years, is that the executive cannot unilaterally spend taxpayer money without the legislature's consent."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://thehill.com/homenews/house/435880-push-to-override-trump-border-veto-fails-in-house|title=House fails to override Trump veto on border wall|first=Juliegrace|last=Brufke|date=March 26, 2019|work=[[The Hill (newspaper)|The Hill]]|access-date=March 26, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190929182920/https://thehill.com/homenews/house/435880-push-to-override-trump-border-veto-fails-in-house|archive-date=September 29, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Iran ===

In 2015, Nadler voted to support an agreement to lift economic sanctions against Iran in exchange for Iran's compliance with the terms of the agreement which called for substantial dismantling and scaling back of their nuclear program.<ref name="Jerrold Nadler Endorses Iran Nuclear Deal">{{cite news|title=Jerrold Nadler, New York Congressman, Endorses Iran Nuclear Deal|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/22/nyregion/jerrold-nadler-new-york-congressman-to-endorse-iran-nuclear-deal.html|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=August 21, 2015|access-date=February 9, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160618113909/http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/22/nyregion/jerrold-nadler-new-york-congressman-to-endorse-iran-nuclear-deal.html|archive-date=June 18, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Israel ===

Nadler describes himself as a “committed Zionist” and a strong supporter of Israel as a homeland for Jewish people.<ref name="k905">{{cite web | last=Pilkington | first=Ed | title=Jerry Nadler on Trump's university attacks: 'He doesn't give a damn about antisemitism' | website=the Guardian | date=2025-04-05 | url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/05/jerry-nadler-trump-antisemitism | access-date=2025-04-06}}</ref>

Of Trump's decision to [[United States recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel|recognize Jerusalem]] as the capital of Israel in December 2017, Nadler said, "I have long recognized Jerusalem as the historic capital of Israel, and have called for the eventual relocation of the United States Embassy to Jerusalem, the seat of the Israeli government. While President Trump's announcement earlier today rightly acknowledged the unique attachment of the Jewish people to Jerusalem, the timing and circumstances surrounding this decision are deeply worrying."<ref>{{cite news |title=Who's Speaking Out Against Trump's Jerusalem Move |url=https://jstreet.org/experts-speak-trumps-jerusalem-move/#.XYFUQmYzWUl |work=J Street |date=December 12, 2017 |access-date=September 18, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190707165017/https://jstreet.org/experts-speak-trumps-jerusalem-move/#.XYFUQmYzWUl |archive-date=July 7, 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2025, he spoke out against aggressive policing of pro-Palestinian protests.<ref name="k905"/>

=== Housing ===
In 2020, Nadler praised a judge for a ruling that could lead to the removal of 20 or more stories in an already-constructed 52-story luxury high-rise building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The developer had received a permit to construct the building, but the judge said the permit should not have been given.<ref>{{Cite web|title=High-Rise Developer Decries Ruling That Could Lead to Removal of 20 Floors|url=https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2020/02/17/upper-west-side-high-rise-developer-slams-judge-ruling-it-violated-zoning-nyc|access-date=2020-07-29|website=www.ny1.com|language=en|archive-date=February 8, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210208160523/https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2020/02/17/upper-west-side-high-rise-developer-slams-judge-ruling-it-violated-zoning-nyc|url-status=live}}</ref>  In March 2021, the N.Y.S. Appellate Division unanimously reversed and ruled in favor of the developers, finding that the building permit was lawful and that the trial court should have deferred to the N.Y.C. Board of Appeals. Opponents sought leave to appeal to the N.Y. Court of Appeals.  On September 9, 2021, the N.Y. Court of Appeals denied the opposition group’s motion for leave to appeal.<ref>{{cite web | title=All 52 Stories at 200 Amsterdam Remain: An Important Ruling for New York City Developers | url=https://www.herrick.com/news/all-52-stories-at-200-amsterdam-remain-an-important-ruling-for-new-york-city-developers/#:~:text=York%20City%20Developers-,All%2052%20Stories%20at%20200%20Amsterdam%20Remain:%20An%20Important%20Ruling,the%20intent%20of%20zoning%20laws }}</ref>
