Garabed "Chuck" Haytaian (January 28, 1938 – November 1, 2024) was an American Republican Party politician, who was the Speaker of the New Jersey General Assembly during the 'tax revolt' of the James Florio – Christine Todd Whitman era.
In 1994, he staged an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the United States Senate, falling to incumbent Frank Lautenberg, 50%−47%.
In 1996, Beth Herbert, an administrative assistant at the State House, brought sexual harassment charges against Haytaian.
The worst incidents, according to Herbert, took place after his failed Senate bid in 1994.
