Before Sean Spiller was a candidate for Governor, he served as the Mayor of Montclair, served our community as a public school teacher, rose to the rank of President of the New Jersey Education Association, and is most importantly a husband and dad who gets to walk his kids to school each morning. 
 

Sean’s parents immigrated with their family to America and instilled in him the importance of education. Sean took his parents’ dedication to education to heart, graduating from Montville public schools, captaining the Rutgers University hockey team, and earning a master’s degree from Ramapo College. In fact, he was so dedicated to education that he decided to become an educator himself to impact kids every day. 
 

But Sean’s impact extends far beyond his students. As the President of one of the largest unions in New Jersey, there have been countless times where Sean has fought for policies to ensure that people are able to support their families. 
 

As the Mayor of Montclair, Sean has been a champion for smart, green development, helped reduce the town’s tax burden while implementing a debt-reduction plan, addressed the high cost of housing, and has helped make the school system even stronger.
 

As New Jersey’s Governor, Sean will continue investing in public education, make New Jersey a more affordable place to live, and ensure that the economy works for the working class.
