Paul J. Krebs

Paul Joseph Krebs (May 26, 1912 – September 17, 1996) was an American labor union official and Democratic Party politician.

Before his election to Congress, Krebs was President of the New Jersey State Congress of Industrial Organizations (1954–1961) and President of the New Jersey United Auto Workers Council (1961–1965).

He was elected in 1964 to the 89th United States Congress, but he did not run for reelection in 1966, after his seat was eliminated in redistricting.

He later served as director for the New Jersey State Office of Consumer Protection under Governor Richard J. Hughes from 1967 to 1970.

[citation needed] Krebs ran for the United States Senate against Republican incumbent Clifford P. Case in 1972 but lost by almost 30 points.
