Via INQdotnetUSA Jon Wong, the youngest Fil-Am elected official

Jon Wong is a cool and contemplative Mahwah, New Jersey town councilor. CONTRIBUTED

Jonathan is now a town official and a lawyer working in a New York City law firm. He is the youngest Filipino American politician, endearing him to his Fil-Am community. Now 28 years old, he has a packed schedule that keeps him continually engaged with work, legislative duties, community outreach, and an active social calendar.“He knows I don’t ask a lot from him but only one thing: Do not miss church on Sundays.

Jon passed the New York Uniform Bar Examination with a high score good enough to apply for licensure in 36 states. In addition to the New York Bar, he plans to also become a lawyer in New Jersey, where he lives.. “As a councilman being a lawyer helps me to better serve my community. It helps me view issues from different perspectives, and I have also gained valuable skills in negotiations.”

In 2018, he topped the council elections with 4,400 votes without any endorsement from any party. He ran as an independent both times reflecting his intention to remain separate from the ideological differences plaguing the two major parties in his community.
