Brian Varela gains key Warren County endorsements in NJ’s 7th district race
Brian Varela, a Democrat running for New Jersey’s 7th congressional district, has secured his first endorsements from Warren County. The support comes from two local figures, marking a step forward in his campaign for the seat.
Tom Palmieri, who led the Warren County Democratic Party for a decade until 2024, has publicly backed Varela. His endorsement adds weight to the campaign, given his long-standing role in local politics.
Belvidere Councilman-elect John Johnson, one of the few Democrats currently holding office in Warren County, has also thrown his support behind Varela. Johnson’s endorsement highlights the candidate’s growing appeal within the county’s Democratic circles.
Varela’s campaign has been gathering local endorsements for months. So far, he has outpaced other Democratic contenders in the 7th district, building momentum ahead of the election.
The endorsements from Palmieri and Johnson signal early confidence in Varela’s bid. With local backing strengthening, his campaign now looks to expand its reach across the district. The race for the 7th congressional seat continues to take shape as more figures weigh in.
