Jon Bramnick

Jon Bramnick (born February 24, 1953) is an American Republican Party politician, who has served in the New Jersey General Assembly since 2003, where he represents the 21st legislative district. He was appointed to the Assembly in 2003 to fill the unexpired term of the vacancy created upon the selection of Thomas Kean, Jr. to fill an unexpired New Jersey Senate term. [Harrell, Jeff. [http://www.montclairtimes.com/page.php?page=5056 "Secession wave gathers strength: Montclairites start petition drive to leave county"] , "The Montclair Times", April 9, 2003. Accessed April 18, 2008. "In February, after Sen. Thomas Kean Jr. vacated the 21st District Assembly seat and stepped into the 21st District’s senatorial post upon the resignation of former 21st District Sen. Rich Bagger, McDermott ran for Kean’s vacated Assembly position in the district. But out of a total of roughly 500 delegates that voted for the 21st District’s Assembly chair at the special Republican Convention held in February, McDermott could only muster 25 votes from the Millburn delegation and one vote from another county. Jon Bramnick from Westfield garnered the most votes, mostly from the nine municipalities in his home county of Union, and won the district’s Assembly seat handily."] He was elected to a full two-year term later that year and was reelected in both 2005 and 2007.

In December 2005 he was appointed Assistant Minority Whip of the Assembly for the 2006-2008 term. In June 2007, Bramnick was selected as the Minority Whip. In the Assembly, he serves as a member of the Consumer Affairs Committee, the Law and Public Safety Committee and the Legislative Services Commission.

Accessed April 17, 2008.] He is a stand-up comedian and has been voted the Funniest Lawyer in New Jersey four times. He co-sponsored a resolution with Assemblyman Gordon M. Johnson to promote kindness in New Jersey.

Previously, Bramnick served two terms as a City Councilman in Plainfield, New Jersey from 1984-1991. He is the Republican Municipal Chairman in Westfield, where he resides with his family. Bramnick is a former professor at both Rutgers University and Rider University. By profession, he is an attorney with a private practice in Scotch Plains, New Jersey. Following his graduation from law school, he served as an assistant corporation counsel in New York City.

Bramnick received a B.A. in Political Science from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University and was awarded a J.D. from the Hofstra University School of Law.
