Brian Varela is a first-generation American, entrepreneur, father, and community leader fighting to ensure that every family has a fair shot at the American Dream.
Born and raised in New Jersey to Colombian immigrant parents, Brian learned early what it meant to work hard. His parents, his mother a waitress and factory worker, his father a limo and truck driver, did everything they could to provide for their family.
Brian put himself through college, working full-time while finishing school in 3.5 years, graduating cum laude. When his mother was diagnosed with cancer, he stepped up to manage his family’s finances while supporting his younger brother. After her passing, he continued to provide for his family before taking a leap into entrepreneurship.
Brian built a successful marketing agency, which led him into the childcare industry, helping New Jersey Families access early education.
Brian is a fighter for democracy, economic fairness, and real change. He has led grassroots efforts across New Jersey, founding the Morris Dems Hispanic Caucus, and advocating for democracy reforms to give power back to the people.
Now Brian is fighting for a future where families can thrive, where working people are prioritized, and where democracy works for us all.
