William E. "Bill" Baroni, Jr. (born December 10, 1971) is an American Republican Party politician and law professor. He represented the 14th legislative district in the New Jersey Senate and General Assembly. In 2010, he was named by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to serve as the Deputy Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
He resigned from his position at the Port Authority on December 12, 2013, during the inquiry into the Fort Lee lane closure controversy. On November 4, 2016, Baroni was convicted on seven counts of conspiracy and wire fraud in relation to his involvement. On March 29, 2017 Baroni was sentenced to two years of imprisonment and 500 hours of community service.
Baroni was born in Jacksonville, Florida. Catholic Charities arranged for him to be adopted by William Sr. and Geraldine Baroni of Hamilton Township, Mercer County, New Jersey a few days later.
He received a B.A. from George Washington University in history and was awarded a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law.
Baroni became interested in politics as a teenager, working on the campaign of his hometown congressman, Christopher H. Smith (R), who was seeking re-election to his fourth term. He was also a driver for Assembly Speaker Chuck Haytaian in his campaign for U.S. Senator against Frank Lautenberg in 1994 and worked on the advance staff for the 1996 presidential campaign of Steve Forbes.
