Biography
Anthony "Tony" D'Angelo is the sitting U.S. Senator from New Jersey, having won his seat in the May 2025 election with 56.5% of the vote. A proud son of Jersey City, Tony was raised in a working-class household by a longshoreman father and a public school teacher mother—an upbringing that grounded his lifelong commitment to economic fairness and community-driven leadership.
After earning a Master’s in Public Policy from Rutgers University, Tony launched a career in public service that took him from the municipal trenches to the Mayor’s office in Jersey City, where he led a bold urban revitalization initiative. His mayoral tenure was marked by expansive affordable housing projects, the attraction of tech-sector investment, and ambitious infrastructure modernization—all guided by his trademark coalition-building and hands-on approach.
Now in the U.S. Senate, Tony continues to champion issues that resonate deeply with his roots: working-class empowerment, climate resilience in urban areas, and economic equity across New Jersey. He has become a visible and pragmatic voice on Capitol Hill, known for bridging divides between progressive priorities and centrist policy-making. His successful record in Washington includes key legislation on housing affordability, clean energy workforce development, and small business grants.
Tony remains a tireless public servant who thrives in direct dialogue with his constituents, whether he's holding town halls in Newark or visiting local diners in the suburbs. Behind the scenes, he is supported by his wife Maria—a Jersey City school principal—and their two children. Though politically driven, Tony still prioritizes Sunday family dinners and church mornings, never losing sight of the values that got him here.
While his ambition grows, so does his awareness of the responsibility he carries. Grounded yet forward-looking, Tony D'Angelo stands as a compelling figure for a New Jersey in transition—experienced, relentless, and ready to lead into the next chapter.
