Aaron Binder is an American politician. He has served as treasurer of New Jersey since 2026.

Life

Binder was raised in Portland, Maine, and attended Brandeis University, where he pitched on the baseball team. He earned a master's degree at the Fels Institute of Government of the University of Pennsylvania. Then a resident of the Holland section of Northampton Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Binder was named to represent the United States in softball at the 2013 Maccabiah Games, though an elbow injury he attributed to his years pitching in cold weather meant that he would be unlikely to play.

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."
