Avi Schnall

Alexander "Avi" Schnall is an American Democratic Party politician, who has represented the 30th legislative district in the New Jersey General Assembly since being sworn into office on January 9, 2024.

A Brooklyn native, Schnall moved to Lakewood Township, New Jersey, to study at Beth Medrash Govoha.

New Jersey General Assembly
In the 2023 New Jersey General Assembly election, incumbent Republican Sean T. Kean won re-election, while Schnall won the second seat, more than 10,000 votes ahead of Republican incumbent Ned Thomson, while Schnall's Democratic running mate Salvatore "Sal" Frascino came in a distant fourth. Schnall's victory was described as "a major upset" in a district that had traditionally been solidly Republican, reflecting the growing Orthodox Jewish community in Lakewood Township and surrounding communities. Schnall was one of 27 members elected for the first time to serve in the General Assembly in 2024, more than one-third of the 80 seats.
