Jerold Freier joined the Montclair Township Council in July 2004, after completing his second 3-year term on the Montclair School Board. He previously served on the Montclair Planning Board.

On the School Board Jerry played a leadership role improving the budget process and enrollment and facilities planning. He succeeded in getting the New Jersey School Board Association to lobby for laws and regulations that would help the Montclair schools. For example they now support rather than oppose state funding for school busing needed to achieve court mandated integration guidelines.

On the Planning Board Jerry worked on zoning changes to prevent new churches and schools from being built in single-family neighborhoods, while making it easier for them to locate in other areas. He also worked on an ordinance that permits restaurants to offer sidewalk seating, while preserving sufficient sidewalk space for pedestrians.

Freier brings to public service over 35 years of experience in business, financial analysis and problem solving. His current assignment at the Federal Reserve is enforcing the consumer protection laws such as Truth-in-Lending and the Fair Housing Act. Jerry has Masters degrees from Harvard University in City Planning and Education and a B.A. from the University of Virginia.

Jerry and his family have been residents of Montclair since 1985. His two children Harris and Miriam attended Nishuane, Hillside, Glenfield and Montclair High School. Harris, a graduate of the University of Virginia, is a second year law school student at Cornell. Miriam a graduate of the University of Miami is working for Lehman Brothers in New York City. His wife Lora, a professional social worker is employed by three nursing homes located in Essex County.

Jerry's leisure-times activities include bowling at Eagle Rock Lanes and long walks with his badly behaved dog, Sweet Pea. He is a long time supporter of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Salvation Army. The entire Freier family are loyal “Montclairians” and both children are always eager to come home and catch up with their friends.
