Adolph Wegrocki (November 29, 1900 – September 1953) was an American physician and Republican Party politician who served five terms in the New Jersey General Assembly.
[1][full citation needed] He moved to Newark, in 1901, where he attended public and parochial schools.
[1][full citation needed] Wegrocki was elected to the New Jersey State Assembly in 1938, and was re-elected in 1939, 1940, 1941 and 1942.
[2] In 1939, a priest sued Wegrocki for failing to repay a personal loan he made to help set up a medical practice.
New Jersey Supreme Court Justice Charles W. Parker ruled that while the priest was entitled to garnish Wegrocki's wages to collect his judgment, he could not put a lien on Wegrocki's annual legislative salary of $500, since state law prohibited garnishing the wages of someone who made less than $18 a week.
