East Orange deserves leadership that listens, serves, and delivers.
Empowerment. Accountability. Service. Transparency. As a husband, father, homeowner, and community leader, I'm committed to restoring trust through transparency, accountability, and service.
Together, we can strengthen our neighborhoods, support our local businesses, invest in our youth and seniors, and build an East Orange where every resident has a voice and every family has the opportunity to thrive.

East Orange has given so much to my family. Now I'm ready to give even more in return. Give, volunteer, or bring a neighbor along. Every hand moves us forward.
About Justin Randall Brown
I didn't decide to serve because of politics. I decided to serve because I care deeply about my community.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with residents, local businesses, seniors, and young people, and one thing has become clear: people want leadership that is present, listens, and follows through. Too many voices feel unheard, and too many opportunities are left on the table.
As a husband, father, and homeowner in East Orange's Second Ward, this isn't just where I live. It's where my family is building our future. The same streets my children grow up on are the streets I want to help make stronger, safer, and full of opportunity for every family.
That's why I'm running for City Council. I believe our community deserves leadership that empowers people, values accountability, serves with purpose, and leads with transparency. My goal isn't simply to hold office. It's to build trust, bring people together, and deliver meaningful results.
East Orange has contributed tremendously to my growth and has given so much to my family. As a 2004 graduate of East Orange Campus High, that led me to study Political Science at Johnson C. Smith University. I earned my BA in Political Science from New Jersey City University, and now I'm ready to give even more in return. Together, we can restore trust, deliver results, and build a stronger East Orange.
Family has always been at the center of Justin's life. Raised by his mother and father and inspired by the values passed down by his grandparents, he learned early the importance of faith, hard work, integrity, and serving others. Today, Justin and his wife, Cindy, are proud homeowners in East Orange's Second Ward, where they are raising their two sons, Justin Randall II and Micah Jeremiah. Having called East Orange home for most of his life, Justin is deeply invested in the city's future and the families who call it home.
