| Info | Born in Newark, Ricky Castaneda has lived in Elizabeth since the second grade. Ever since he was a kid, Ricky has carried himself with the utmost authenticity, and every interaction he has with the people around him is nothing short of that. All thanks go to his loving and inspiring parents, who made sure their son puts honesty and integrity above all.
In 2016, Castaneda enrolled in Rutgers University-Newark, majoring in Political Science and Sociology. Ricky is known for excelling in and out of the classroom. His involvement on Campus ranges from representing students in the University Senate to co-founding a student organization. His experience as a Student Leader has taught him the importance of activism and helped him develop a deeper understanding of what community means.
Now, in the midst of a devastating pandemic and political turmoil, Ricky is running for State Assembly to represent those that are frustrated with the out of touch politicians who currently represent them. New Jersey needs someone who will fight for a higher minimum wage, tuition-free public college and universities, and guaranteeing healthcare to all New Jerseyans, regardless of immigration status.
As a child of Ecuadorian immigrants, Ricky understands the unique financial and social struggles of building a life in a new country. Ricky is running for Assembly to make certain these struggles are understood and dealt with through comprehensive legislation.
