Arthur Francis Foran (September 23, 1882 – December 15, 1961) was an American Republican Party politician from New Jersey.
[1] Foran was elected Mayor of Flemington in 1916 and also worked that year on the campaign of Walter Evans Edge for Governor of New Jersey.
[2] During World War I he pursued an active military career and achieved the rank of Colonel in the United States Army.
In 1922 Foran was appointed by Warren G. Harding as Controller of Customs of the Port of New York and was reappointed to this position by Calvin Coolidge in 1926.
The Anti-Saloon League opposed his reappointment in 1930, claiming that he had been lax in upholding Prohibition laws by allowing the passage of liquid cargoes through customs.
