MONTCLAIR, NJ — Today, Essex County Commissioner Brendan Gill, candidate for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District, announced the endorsement of Benjamin Weisman of Boonton.

“Brendan Gill has been a visible and trusted presence in our community for years, long before he decided to run for Congress,” said Benjamin Weisman. “He genuinely cares about small businesses and local residents and is always willing to step in where he’s needed. In my work with him, I’ve seen firsthand how he asks questions, listens carefully, and follows through. I’m proud to support him as he brings that same dedication to Congress. I had the honor of spending Small Business Saturday with Brendan in downtown Boonton, where we spoke with local business owners about the challenges they face and how government can better support them as a vital part of our local economy.”

“I am honored to have Benjamin’s support,” said Brendan Gill. “He has been an outstanding partner in Boonton, working tirelessly to strengthen the community. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with him to deliver meaningful results for the people of our district.”

This endorsement strengthens Gill’s growing coalition of local leaders and reflects continued support from Morris County and surrounding communities. He has also received endorsements from Rockaway Township council members Jonathan Sackett and Manny Friedlander and Morris County Progressive Caucus Chair Henry Mielarczyk. Across NJ-11, community leaders, union members, and advocates are rallying behind Gill’s commitment to effective, results-driven representation in Congress.
