Clifford Ross Powell

Clifford Ross Powell (July 26, 1893 – March 30, 1973) was an American Republican Party acting governor of New Jersey from January 3, 1935 to January 8, 1935.[1]

Biography

He was born in Lumberton, New Jersey on July 26, 1893.[1]

He served in the United States Army during World War I as a Major General, and was Speaker of the New Jersey General Assembly in 1925.

He was a member of the New Jersey Senate from Burlington County, New Jersey from 1928 to 1939. He served as acting governor for the last five days of his tenure as President of the New Jersey Senate, after A. Harry Moore resigned to take a seat in the United States Senate.[2] In his brief time as Acting Governor, he took the opportunity to abolish the New Jersey State Recovery Administration, the state-level counterpart of the National Recovery Administration, which had been establishing minimum prices and other "fair competition" codes.[3]

He died on March 30, 1973 in Burlington County Memorial Hospital.[1]
