Julio Huancaya

Julio Huancaya was raised in Kearny and is proud to be raising his own family here alongside his wife. He earned his associate’s degree in business administration from Rutgers University, began his career in law enforcement, and currently works with a multi-million dollar logistics team of up to 100 employees.

Working in the private sector, Julio has successfully identified cost-saving measures to reduce rates by as much as 30%. His experience in public safety and operations will bring a fresh set of eyes to the municipal budget. Julio currently serves on the Town of Kearny’s Zoning Board, is a soccer coach with the Kearny Recreation Department, and is a parishioner at Our Lady of Sorrows.

As a father, Julio is committed to fully supporting public safety initiatives and addressing quality of life concerns of his neighbors. Julio is running to represent the Second Ward because he understands the importance of maintaining a fiscally sound budget, wants to expand recreation programs, and keep Kearny affordable for everyone.
