Eliot Laurence Spitzer (born June 10, 1959) is an American politician (Democrat) who served as the Governor of New York for a little more than one year (2007 until his resignation on March 17, 2008). Prior to being elected governor of New York he was elected to two four year terms as the Attorney General of New York from 1999 to 2006. Prior to becoming Attorney General Spitzer worked for six years as a prosecutor with the office of the Manhattan District Attorney and also worked as an attorney in private practice with several New York law firms.

Spitzer grew up in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx, New York. He received a Bachelor's degree at Princeton University and his Juris Doctor at Harvard Law School.

Spitzer resigned as New York's governor in 2008 in the midst of a scandal concerning his involvement with prostitutes.

After his resignation he has been a television host, an adjunct instructor, run for office and made private investments in a start-up company.

Spitzer was born on June 10, 1959, in the Bronx, the son of Anne (née Goldhaber), an English literature professor, and Bernard Spitzer, a real estate mogul. His paternal grandparents were Galician Jews, born in Tluste, Poland (now Ukraine). His maternal grandparents, born in the 1890s, were Jewish immigrants from Palestine. Spitzer is the youngest of three children. He was raised in the affluent Riverdale section of The Bronx in New York City. His family was not religious, and Spitzer did not have a Bar Mitzvah.
