Clifford Philip Case Jr. (April 16, 1904 – March 5, 1982), was an American lawyer and politician. For over 30 years, Case represented the state of New Jersey as a member of the Republican Party both in the U.S. House of Representatives (1945–1953) and the U.S. Senate (1955–1979). Throughout his career in the House and Senate, Case proved to be one of the most left-leaning members of the Republican Party, supporting civil rights for African-Americans, and social welfare programs, which put him at odds with the most right-leaning members of his party. He is the last Republican to win a U.S. Senate election in New Jersey.
