Thomas Charles MacArthur (born October 16, 1960) is an American businessman and politician. He is the member of the United States House of Representatives for New Jersey's 3rd congressional district. A Republican, MacArthur was previously mayor of Randolph, New Jersey.[1]

As of 2 March 2017, MacArthur has voted with his party in 96% of votes so far in the current session of Congress and voted in line with President Trump's position in 92.9% of the votes.[2][3] He has repeatedly called for repealing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare),[4] but in January 2017 did not vote in favor of the resolution which set in motion the repeal of the Affordable Care Act.[5] He opposes abortion and same-sex marriage.

Early life

MacArthur grew up in Hebron, Connecticut. He received his bachelor's degree from Hofstra University.[6] MacArthur worked in the insurance industry. He was chairman and chief executive officer of York Risk Services Group for 11 years. He served on the Randolph, New Jersey, Township Council from 2011 through 2013, including a tenure as mayor in 2013.[6]

Personal life

MacArthur lives in Toms River, New Jersey, and also owns homes in Randolph and Barnegat Light, New Jersey.[7] He is married, and has a son and daughter. Another daughter died in 1996 at the age of 11.[6][8] He is the richest member of New Jersey's congressional delegation, with reported assets worth at least $30.8 million.[9]

U.S. House of Representatives

2014 election

When Jon Runyan, a Republican who represented New Jersey's 3rd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives, announced that he would not run for reelection in 2014, MacArthur chose to run for the Republican Party nomination. MacArthur resigned from the Randolph council to move into the congressional district.[10] He ran against Steve Lonegan in the Republican Party's primary election, and defeated him.[11]

He faced Aimee Belgard of the Democratic Party in the general election. MacArthur largely self-financed his congressional campaign.[12] He outspent Belgard by about three to one.[13] MacArthur defeated Belgard by nearly a 10-point margin, decisively winning the popular vote in Ocean County, and coming in a very close second in Burlington County, losing that part of the district by only 352 votes.[14]

MacArthur was sworn in on January 6, 2015, along with 58 other new member of the House of Representatives.[15] He was assigned to the Armed Services Committee and two of its subcommittees, the Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces and Subcommittee on Military Personnel. MacArthur was elected Vice Chairman of the latter subcommittee. He was also assigned to the Natural Resources Committee as well as two of its subcommittees, the Subcommittee on Federal Lands and the Subcommittee on Water, Power, and Oceans.[16]

On February 2, 2015, MacArthur introduced the "Disaster Assistance Fairness and Accountability Act of 2015"[17] that will prevent the Federal Emergency Management Agency from taking back disaster relief funds from individuals who applied for them in good faith.[18] On March 25, 2015, MacArthur introduced the "Veterans' Mental Health Care Access Act"[19] to allow veterans with a Choice Card to access mental health care at any facility eligible for reimbursement by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.[20][21] Both bills have been referred to the appropriate subcommittees.[22][23]

2016 election
