why we are running
Former Mayor Andrew LaBruno
Andrew brings years of experience as a former Dumont Mayor, Jersey City Police Sergeant, and community organizer. His journey into public service began as a way to overcome the bureaucratic red tape that stood in the way of family and community events. Andrew has always been focused on breaking through political stagnation to deliver real, tangible results.
Councilman David Jiang
David’s perspective comes from his background as an entrepreneur who left Wall Street to start his own business. Frustrated by the political machine in Demarest, he ran off the line for a Council seat to stand up for what he believed was right. His commitment to bold, honest leadership resonates with residents looking for change.
WHO WE ARE
Fathers. Husbands. Family Men.
Andrew and David are not only husbands and fathers but also dedicated members of the Bergen County and Legislative District 39 community. As family men, they deeply understand the challenges and joys of raising children in this area. They are committed to ensuring that families here feel safe, that children receive a high-quality education, and that commuting challenges are addressed effectively. Andrew and David share a vision for a community where safety, education, and infrastructure are prioritized, and they work tirelessly to make that vision a reality for all residents.
