Jacob Chic Hecht (born November 30, 1928) was a Republican senator representing the state of Nevada. He served a single term in the United States Senate from January 3, 1983, to January 3, 1989. During this period, he was a historical member of Congress identified by the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress under the bioguide ID H000439.1
Hecht’s tenure in the Senate marked his primary role in federal elected office, serving Nevada at-large as a United States senator rather than as a member of the House of Representatives from a specific district. As a Republican senator, he participated in the legislative process during the 1980s, a period of significant national political and economic change. After leaving office in 1989, he was regarded as a former senator from Nevada, with no additional official congressional roles or committee assignments listed in the available record.
