Ruben J. Ramos, Jr. (born December 30, 1973) is an American Democratic Party politician, who has served in the New Jersey General Assembly since 2008, where he represents the 33rd legislative district. He also serves as a city councilman in Hoboken.
Ramos and his running mates won a strongly fought primary battle in June 2007, defeating a slate supported by the Hudson County Democratic Organization led by then-Assemblyman Silverio Vega.[1]
The youngest elected official in Hoboken history, he has served as city council president.[citation needed] Ramos, a teacher by profession, is employed by the Paterson Public Schools.[2]
Ramos serves in the Assembly on the Appropriations Committee and the Education Committee.[2]
He simultaneously holds a seat in the New Jersey General Assembly and on the City Council. This dual position, often called double dipping, is allowed under a grandfather clause in the state law enacted by the New Jersey Legislature and signed into law by Governor of New Jersey Jon Corzine in September 2007 that prevents dual-office-holding but allows those who had held both positions as of February 1, 2008, to retain both posts.[3]
Ramos was awarded a B.A. from Fairleigh Dickinson University, with a major in Political Science.[2]
