Dear Ridgewood Residents,
Four years ago, I had the privilege of stepping up to serve our community through the Ridgewood school system. My two terms on the Board of Education (BOE) have been a profoundly rewarding experience, allowing me to give back to the Village I love.
Now, I am excited to bring the same commitment to the Ridgewood Village Council. If elected, I will champion open governance that prioritizes resident input and practices fiscal responsibility. I will work to preserve our village’s charm and tackle environmental and safety issues. I pledge to be an independent, results-driven representative on the Council, and my promise is backed by a proven track record of service to our community.
With a business career spanning management consulting, media, and on Wall Street, I have honed a skill set that I bring to public service. I earned an undergraduate degree with Honors from Brown University and an MBA from Wharton School of Business. I was also honored to be selected as a Visiting Scholar at Pembroke College, Oxford University, and I currently represent Pembroke as a Global Alumni Ambassador. In addition to my private investments and BOE responsibilities, I am a co-founder of the Ridgewood Lunar Festival and the Ridgewood Asian-American Pacific Islander Alliance.
I humbly ask for your support for Village Council this November as we strive for a vibrant, sustainable future for our town. Together, I truly believe that we can elevate Ridgewood even further.
Respectfully,
HyunJu Kwak

She will shake up the council. Too smart for all of them
She’s exactly exactly what the village needs, new blood, and smart thinking.
She would be great but needs to be elected first. And fighting against the propaganda machine of libs that have grabbed this town by the throat will be difficult.
She’s got my vote!
Same here. Definitely voting for her!
vote vote…..Kwak!
fearless, smart, highly educated with an MBA from the #1 business school on the planet. would have had a strong view on $60k trash cans!!
they will do everything to knock her down ……don’t believe the bs
vote kwak!
She helped get Lembo bounced…can do the same to Vagianos
She also helped get Lembo elected…
That was an act of service to the village. How did that Lembo clown get re-promoted on the RPD? Instagram versus reality. No values whatsoever.
How in the world did that Lembo clown get RE-promoted within RPD??? What a joke… he is an embarrassment to the village. He couldn’t even serve and protect in his own home. Shameful.
Hmmm…it’s getting a little interesting.
2 spots are up for grabs, right ?
I guess a bullet vote here will be needed.
2 or 3 spots?
3 seats up…..
Peron
Vagianos
Reynolds
She has my vote. Time to drain the swamp and make RW great again!
Bullet vote Kwak
She will be incredible. I have watched her in action at the BOE meetings and she has a strong track record and this is equipped to tackle tough issues with grace and dignity. It can only be a win for the village if she gets in.
HyunJu is exactly what this village needs to pull us out of the doldrums and get things back on track.
This is a no brainer, HyunJu Kwak is exactly what Ridgewood needs! Ridgewood is lucky to have her. VOTE HYUNJU!
We need smart right now we have morons on council. “ Like so dumb “ and morons running the town again “ like so not bright “. Just stupid folk. We need new blood
to bad Reynolds is out…she would have an ally
Seriously,how long ago was Ridgewood great?
There is a God! Thank you Mrs. Kwak for stepping up.
Why is Ms Reynolds not running..?
Did Peewee wear her down…??
Vote Kwak. She is the real deal and is smart, savvy, a strategic thinker and won’t fall victim like the current bobble heads Weitz and Winograd. The other dingbat is Frank Mortimer who is just another Vagianos puppet backed by special interest groups in the village. Even if you are a sports enthusiast or have kids in sports, you certainly cannot be okay with a mayor who was not going to test the Schedler soil. 100% NOT. He said PFAS is everywhere and was doing his damage control BS all over the place but had no problem dusting off his sh*t shovel to break ground. Why? He so desperately wanted to be a big hero delivering the shiny new field he promised. But would you let your child play there knowing what you know and what kind of a guy this is? He did this for his own ego not for you and clearly not for your kids. It is disgraceful that he is playing russian roulette with the health of residents and Mortimer is squarely in Camp Vagianos, so you decide if you want to be mired in muck because that is becoming Ridgewood’s middle name.

Ridgewood is ALL about Big Egos. See it in many of the various volunteer “committees” and who knows who, play nice, pat each other on the back, get praises awards, grant monies, and photos taken for what they think they do is so great. Its like school time “clicks”, you’re in the “in crowd”.
If you break the rules with truth, or speak against the egotists, you’re banned and you’re out. Big Egos don’t want to be called out.
Funny some people are so foolish they don’t even see it happening and how they’ve been taken for a ride.
The Village may look great on the outside, but there are some serious cracks in the foundation. We’ve got a mayor who is only intersted in special interest sports and business. Health and safety be dammed. the greenwashing bee boy is in the Vagianos camp. We need to rid the village of these bed bugs and get some new blood in to fix things and course correct. That is HJK. She will be able to direct energies into the right direction. Keep Kaz shark accountable to perform his job and work with Weitz, Winograd and Perron to ensure that they are not talking gobrish and making sense of what is needed.
Now is the time to vote out the big bad apple who only knows how to lie and scheme to get what he wants. The time to stop serving propaganda to hard working tax payers is now.
She was no great asset for the BOE
NJEA????
Correct, glad she spanked during the elections. Now she is out on both sides. Good ridens! Dani is next to go! They both are useless.
Local bigots still harping on Kwak ??? elections over
when is that last time some asked ethically challenged Brogan weather she had kids in school?
How about that council person that wont sit near “dark skinned “people because they scare her ?
And of coarse the black photographer gets called a Pedophile , but the white photographer that takes the same photos is never challenged.
Of coarse there was a police call during the BLM marches in Ridgewood on the only black person there because he looked “suspicious”.
And my personal favorite in a through back to the 1920’s anti catholic bigotry in black and white used for a council campaign , and don’t get me started on the flaming Antisemitism.
Uncle Tom? That’s sounds a little racist. Anyway, I think you crossed off just about every imaginary grievance box except the wide swath of anti-LGBTQIA+. Also, not a minor (yes, intended) point either, we don’t say pedophile anymore. They’re MAPs. Wouldn’t want you to lose your most blessed sanctimony status.
admitting your a pedo on an open forum, oh my
Getting a ‘woody’ while discussing pedos on an open forum, oh my.
The problem is that even if Kwak gets elected, it will be 4 against 1. The only person of those four with a brain in their head is Pam Perron. Pam is smart and knows what is the right thing to do but is so influenced by Paul she doesn’t do it. I cannot understand this. She is a smart and powerful woman. May e get rid of the Bag and Pam will rise up.
Ordinarily I do not believe in bullet voting, but because I can’t bring myself to vote for any of the other candidates and want to push her name up higher, I am going to bullet vote for her.
Me too. They are all so awful At least Pam is smart and was a lawyer. What did Mortimer ever say or do that had any substance, except for show up with his little “No Mow May” signs, meanwhile he is pushing for turf. It makes little to no sense that this guy could contribute to anything positive to the village. Look at who he is running with.
Pam is “smart” , and proof of that ?
And Paulie was a lawyer too, so?
