George Lawrence Record (1859 – September 27, 1933) was an American lawyer, activist, and politician from Jersey City, New Jersey. He ran unsuccessfully for several offices, including Governor of New Jersey and United States Senator.[1]
Though he lost all six of his attempts at elected office, Record held various state and municipal appointive offices and was a leading figure in the state's liberal progressive movement. He frequently brought suit against New Jersey public utilities as a consumer advocate and labor spokesman. In Jersey City politics, he was aligned with reformist Democrat Mark M. Fagan against party boss Frank Hague.[1]
