Gabe Rodriguez

Born on December 6, 1978, Rodriguez earned an undergraduate degree in psychology from New Jersey City University and a Master of Business Administration degree from New Jersey Institute of Technology.

A resident of West New York, New Jersey, Rodriguez is employed by the West New York School District as an accounting manager.

Rodriguez served for four years as a West New York town commissioner and was elected as mayor in 2019.

In the wake of the 2021 apportionment, the reconfiguration of municipalities in the 32nd and 33rd districts and the incumbent Assembly members in those districts choosing to retire or run for other elective office, the Hudson County Democratic Organization chose newcomers Rodriguez and Julio Marenco to run for the two Assembly seats. Marenco and Rodriguez defeated independent candidate Lea Sherman, the only other candidate running in the 2023 New Jersey General Assembly election. Rodriguez was one of 27 members elected for the first time in 2023 to serve in the General Assembly, more than one-third of the seats.
