LD25 Assemblyman-Elect Brian Bergen announced that Mayor Tom Andes of Denville Township has accepted the position as his Chief of Staff.

Andes has over 20 years of government experience, as a councilman and mayor.

Assemblyman-Elect Bergen commented: “I can’t think of a better way to serve the municipal

governments in the 25^th District than to hire someone who can help me understand their needs in a way that only extensive municipal experience can allow. My district office staff will be completely focused on constituent case work and supporting our municipal governments. Tom is a well-respected Mayor and his connections with his municipal peers and our constituent base will allow me to be the best representative I can be for the 25^th District.”

For the first few weeks of Assemblyman-elect Bergen’s term, his staff will operate out of Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll’s former office space before moving to their permanent home in downtown Denville.

“I am excited to leverage my years of municipal experience to support Assemblyman-Elect Bergen in his efforts to connect to the communities and identify and advocate for their needs in Trenton,” said Mayor Andes.

Assemblyman-Elect Bergen will be sworn in on 1/14/2020 at the War Memorial in Trenton, NJ as a member of the 219^th NJ State Legislature.
