Meet Andrew
Andrew LaBruno, 38, a Democrat and Councilman of Dumont, New Jersey. Andrew has received the Democratic nomination for the 2019 Dumont Mayoral Election. He was nominated with Lisa Rossillo, seeking re-election for Council, and Conor Gorman, who is running for his first term for Council.
