Ed Potosnak is running to represent New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Before entering this race, he worked in Representative Mike Honda’s office as an Albert Einstein Fellow, covering issues including education and the environment. If elected, he would be one of a few openly LGBT Members of Congress.

After putting himself through Rutgers University, Potosnak used his chemistry degree as a teacher, ensuring his students were scientifically literate. To supplement his teaching salary, Potosnak began a home improvement business. After becoming an Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellow, Potosnak was given the chance to work for Representative Mike Honda.

Potosnak’s unique blend of educational, scientific, business, and political skills have prepared him to run to represent New Jersey’s 7th.

Potosnak supports the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, which his opponent voted against.
