Juliano, Sweeney, Santos re-elected to county chairman posts
Paul Juliano was re-elected Bergen County Democratic Chairman tonight, while Steve Sweeney won another term as Gloucester County Democratic Chairman and Union County Republican Chairman Carlos Santos was re-elected.
All three party leaders were unopposed.
Juliano has chaired the county organization since 2019, when he succeeded Louis Stellato. During his tenure, no Republican has won a countywide election. He is a former Fairview Public Works director and president and CEO of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority.
Sweeney was elected last year following the resignation of Chad Bruner; this is his first full term. Sweeney is a former Gloucester County Freeholder director who spent two decades in the New Jersey State Senate. He spent 12 years as Senate President, the longest-serving legislative leader in state history. In 2025, Sweeney unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for governor. He also succeeded Bruner as the Gloucester County Administrator.
