Family, education, and affiliations

Sabrin was born in Bad Wörishofen, Germany on December 21, 1946. Sabrin's parents, being of Jewish ancestry, were among the only in his family tree to survive the Holocaust.[4] Sabrin arrived in America with his older brother and parents in August 1949 and became a United States citizen in 1959. He lives with his wife of 39 years, Florence, in Fort Lee, New Jersey.[5]

Sabrin's articles have appeared in The Record (Hackensack, New Jersey), The Star Ledger, Trenton Times, and the Asbury Park Press. His essays have also appeared in Commerce Magazine, Mid-Atlantic Journal of Business, and Privatization Review, and LewRockwell.com.[7] Sabrin is a contributing columnist for NJBIZ[8] and writes a column on the economy for START-IT magazine. Sabrin is a regular columnist for NJVoices[9] and USADaily.[10][11] He is writing a book on politics, the economy and culture titled Velvet Fascism: How the Political Elites Transformed America.[5]

Political career

Sabrin was the 1997 Libertarian Party gubernatorial candidate in New Jersey, and the first third party candidate to receive matching funds and participate in three official debates.[12] He garnered 5% of the vote, a factor which contributed to the near-defeat of incumbent Governor Christine Todd Whitman (who had previously been viewed as a rising star in the national GOP) by Democratic nominee Jim McGreevey. Sabrin left the Libertarian Party, and was a candidate for the Republican Party nomination for the United States Senate representing New Jersey where he faced Republican state Senator Joseph Pennacchio and former Republican Congressman Dick Zimmer.[13] Promoting limited government and nonintervention, he received endorsements from the Republican Liberty Caucus[14] and U.S. Presidential candidate Ron Paul.[15] He was defeated in the Republican primary, garnering 14% of the vote, behind Zimmer (46%) and Pennacchio (40%).[16] He sought election to the same seat in 2014[17] before losing the Republican primary on June 3, 2014 to Jeff Bell.[18]
