Hank Lyon (born February 13, 1988) is an American Republican Party politician. Lyon joined the Morris County, New Jersey Board of Chosen Freeholders on March 10, 2012, and served a special one-year term on the board, becoming the youngest freeholder in the state at age 24.[1] Lyon was reelected as Freeholder in 2014.
A resident of the Towaco section of Montville, Lyon majored in economics and physics at the College of the Holy Cross.[1]
After a court battle in which Nordstron sought to overturn Lyon's victory in the Republican Party primary after his narrow ten-vote victory, Lyon was appointed to the seat that had been held by Margaret Nordstrom.[2] The court battle was due to Lyon not following election rules regarding disclosing campaign finances. Lyon ran unopposed in the 2014 Republican primary. Lyon is a member of the Board of School Estimate for the County College of Morris and the Morris County School of Technology.[1]
