Aaron Binder is an American politician. He has served as treasurer of New Jersey since 2026.[1][2][3]
Life

With a population of just 40,000, the Bucks County community is sending seven U.S. team members to the Maccabiah Games in Israel.... One Holland resident selected for the team — Aaron Binder — may not see action. When interviewed by NJJN, the 42-year-old masters softball player was suffering from an injury and facing possible surgery... 'Unfortunately, a lifetime of pitching in New England weather — I grew up in Portland, Maine, and played baseball at Brandeis University in Massachusetts — has taken a toll on my elbow,' he said."
