Sean Byrnes, a former Middletown Township Committeeman, proclaimed his candidacy for the state senate in the 13th Legislative District today, March 7.
The 13th Legislative District serves Monmouth County.
From 2008 to 2011, Byrnes held a position on the Middletown Township Committee. He also formerly served as a municipal prosecutor, Coast Guard officer on active and reserve duty and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Community YMCA.
He served as a Board member of the Parker Family Clinic and currently is on the board of the Monmouth County SPCA.
According to Brynes, he has many years of experience to bring to the position.
“I have spent the last 20 years defending and advocating for individuals and small businesses, and I understand their needs. I will challenge and upend a system that has provided huge tax advantages to large multi-national corporations while reducing income and wealth for the small business owner and average family.”
