Arnold D'Ambrosa

D'Ambrosa (December 1, 1932 – February 9, 2018) was an American official who served in the General Assembly from 1974 to 1976 from the 22nd Legislative District.

D'Ambrosa and his running mate, Betty Wilson, defeated two Republican incumbents, Herbert H. Kiehn and Arthur Manner.

Prosecutors charged him with selling an air conditioner owned by the City of Rahway for $600 and keeping the money.

He was also accused of taking a $200 bribe from a contractor, as well as lying to a Grand Jury and misusing city assets (materials and employees) for work on his vacation home in Point Pleasant, New Jersey.

In January 1976, just before the expiration of his term, he was sentenced to nine months in jail after admitting to charges of embezzlement, bribery, perjury and official misconduct.
