Day 314 - Brian Varela

I had the pleasure of getting to know Brian as he ran to represent NJ's 7th Congressional District, and also headline a comedy benefit for his campaign.

Brian Varela is a first-generation American, entrepreneur, and community leader dedicated to fighting for NJ Families and protecting democracy. Raised by Colombian immigrants in New Jersey, Brian worked full-time while putting himself through college, later stepping up to support his family when his mother fell ill.

After a career in corporate America, he launched a successful business—later recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing companies in the country. A passionate advocate for economic fairness, democracy reform, and opportunity for all, Brian has led grassroots efforts across New Jersey, organizing communities and fighting for change.
