William H. Bright (October 21, 1863 – August 4, 1933) was an American politician who represented Cape May County in the New Jersey Senate from 1919 to 1927 and served as president of the Senate in 1925.
William H. Bright was born on October 21, 1863, in Bridgehampton, Michigan to Henry and Mary (née McClintock) Bright, immigrants from the British Isles. His father came from Liverpool when he was twenty years old, and his mother immigrated with her parents from County Tyrone as a young child.[1]
Bright attended public schools in Philadelphia. In 1882, Bright came to Wildwood, New Jersey, and started in the real estate business.[2][1]
