JUDGE VINCENT LE BLON — EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP

Judge Vincent Le Blon is a lifelong East Brunswick resident, former President of the East Brunswick Township Council, and retired Judge of the Superior Court of New Jersey. He is seeking election to the East Brunswick Township Council in the November 3, 2026 General Election because he believes the Township needs a change in direction and a renewed commitment to fiscal responsibility, responsible development and the quality of life of its residents.

A graduate of East Brunswick High School, Le Blon received his bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University in 1977 and earned his law degree from Gonzaga University School of Law in Spokane, Washington, in 1980.

Before his appointment to the bench, Le Blon maintained a private law practice in East Brunswick and served as an Assistant Prosecutor in both Middlesex and Somerset Counties. He also served four years on the East Brunswick Township Council, including service as Council President.

In 1997, Le Blon was appointed a Judge of the Superior Court of New Jersey. During approximately 25 years on the bench, he served in the Criminal, Family and Civil Divisions in Middlesex County and as a Presiding Judge in the Chancery Division. He retired from the Superior Court in February 2022.

After a career devoted to public service, Judge Le Blon has answered the call to serve his community again.

“I have lived in East Brunswick for most of my life, raised my family here and had the privilege of serving this community before,” Le Blon said. “I am running again because I believe our residents deserve a municipal government that carefully examines every tax dollar it spends and seriously considers the long-term consequences of the decisions it makes.”

Le Blon has made rising property taxes, municipal spending, traffic congestion and overdevelopment central issues in his campaign. He believes the Township should undertake a comprehensive review of its budget, staffing levels, debt, major expenditures and Township-owned assets to identify potential savings before asking residents to pay more.

He has also called for greater scrutiny of redevelopment projects and their cumulative impact on traffic, schools, municipal services and established neighborhoods. In particular, Le Blon has questioned the Township’s increasing reliance on long-term PILOT agreements and argues that redevelopment decisions should more fully account for the financial and infrastructure burdens placed on existing taxpayers and the public school system.

For Le Blon, returning to the Township Council is an opportunity to bring together two distinct areas of public service: his previous experience in municipal government and nearly 25 years on the Superior Court bench.

“My years as a judge taught me to listen carefully, examine the facts and make decisions based upon the evidence,” Le Blon said. “Those same principles should guide local government. East Brunswick needs a Council that asks difficult questions, demands accountability and always remembers that it is spending the taxpayers’ money.”

Judge Le Blon is running with Girish Vazirani and Mina Abdo as the Republican candidates for East Brunswick Township Council. Together, the candidates are campaigning on controlling property taxes, imposing greater discipline on municipal spending, addressing traffic congestion, promoting responsible development and preserving East Brunswick as a desirable community in which to live, work and raise a family.

Experienced. Accountable. Focused on East Brunswick’s Future.

For more than 26 years, Girish Vazirani has built a career in finance and banking, with experience in commercial real estate, construction, small business and SBA lending. Today, he is running for East Brunswick Township Council because he believes his professional experience, combined with his personal commitment to this community, can help bring a practical and responsible approach to local government.

Girish has spent his career making decisions that require careful analysis and a clear understanding of risk. He believes local government should be approached the same way: understand the facts, ask the difficult questions, consider the long-term consequences and make decisions that are in the best interest of the people being served.

Experience That Matters

Throughout his career, Girish has evaluated financial statements, cash flow, budgets, projections, debt and repayment capacity. He has helped businesses navigate complicated financial decisions and has led teams in demanding banking environments where accountability, integrity and sound judgment matter.

That experience has given him an appreciation for something that is often overlooked in government: today's decision can create tomorrow's obligation.

Whether it is spending, borrowing, development or a long-term financial commitment, Girish believes residents deserve to understand the cost, the benefit and the potential impact before decisions are made.

An East Brunswick Family

Girish has lived in East Brunswick since 2013 and raised both of his children here. One has graduated, while his younger child continues through the East Brunswick school system.

East Brunswick is not simply where Girish lives. It is where his family has built its life.

As a parent, he cares deeply about the quality of our schools and about making sure East Brunswick remains a community where families can afford to live, raise their children and build their future.

Responsible Growth and Our Schools

Girish believes East Brunswick needs to take a broader look at how development affects the entire community.

His background in commercial and construction lending has given him firsthand experience with how development projects are financed and how financial structures influence new construction.

He believes the conversation should go beyond how much revenue a development brings to the municipality. We also need to consider what additional demands growth places on schools, roads, traffic, infrastructure and municipal services.

Where PILOTs and other development agreements are involved, Girish believes East Brunswick should examine fair and responsible ways to align the benefits of development with the needs it creates, including the needs of our schools.

As a parent, he believes municipal and school leaders should be working together, not addressing these challenges in separate lanes.

What Girish Will Bring to Council

A careful approach to spending, debt, budgets and long-term financial commitments.

Clear answers about how taxpayer dollars are being spent and why major decisions are being made.

Responsible Growth
Development that considers its impact on schools, traffic, infrastructure, neighborhoods and quality of life.

Listening First
A commitment to hear residents, understand their concerns and work toward practical solutions.

Why I Am Running

I am not running because I believe everything can be fixed overnight.

I am running because I believe East Brunswick needs people who are willing to do the homework, look at the numbers, ask difficult questions and make decisions with the long-term interests of our community in mind.

My career has taught me that responsible decisions require preparation, accountability and the willingness to look beyond the immediate result.

I want to bring that approach to Township Council.

I want to listen to residents, work with our schools and community, and help make East Brunswick a stronger, more affordable and better-planned place for the next generation.

East Brunswick is my home. My family has grown up here, and I am ready to put 26 years of experience to work for the community I care about.

Mina Abdo is a lifelong East Brunswick resident, East Brunswick High School alumnus, and NJIT Chemical Engineering graduate who is running for East Brunswick Township Council because he believes our community deserves thoughtful leadership focused on results.

Mina has called East Brunswick home for nearly two decades. He grew up playing in the township’s recreation programs, including soccer, volleyball, and winter track, and has remained deeply involved in the community. Since the age of 18, he has been an active member of St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church, where he continues to teach Sunday school.

Professionally, Mina works as a Data Analyst, where he uses data, technology, and automation to improve efficiency, solve complex problems, and help organizations make better decisions. He brings that same practical, results-driven approach to his vision for East Brunswick.

Mina is focused on the issues that matter most to residents: keeping property taxes under control, supporting our schools, encouraging responsible development, improving traffic and transportation, and creating meaningful programs for our senior citizens.

He believes local government should listen to residents, make decisions responsibly, and look for practical solutions instead of simply accepting the status quo.

Mina is running to bring a fresh perspective, strong analytical thinking, and a genuine commitment to the community he has called home for so many years.
