Alex Sauickie (born January 25, 1971) is an American Republican Party politician who was selected on August 11, 2022, to fill a seat in the New Jersey General Assembly representing New Jersey's 12th legislative district. That seat had been held by Ronald S. Dancer until it was vacated by his death on July 23, 2022.[1]
A resident of Jackson Township, New Jersey, Sauickie served on the Jackson Township Council from January 9, 2019, until he was appointed to the Assembly at a special convention held on August 11, 2022.[2][3]

The 221st New Jersey Legislature faces newly drawn state legislative districts by the 2022 New Jersey Apportionment Commission.[5] The 12th Legislative District loses the municipalities of Chesterfield Township, New Hanover Township, and Wrightstown Borough, and gains Helmetta and Spotswood.
