My name is Richard Malgran. I’ve spent my whole life helping others, even to this day I help individuals get out of debt.

I graduated Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ in 1967 with a BA degree in History. I was then sworn in as a 2nd LT in the US Army having completed the ROTC program at Rutgers. I reported for active duty and eventually became a combat company commander. Upon completion of active duty, I enrolled in the University of Nebraska Law School where I received my degree of Juris Doctorate in only 2 and a half years instead of the normal 3.

I went on to become a founding partner in what became the 2nd largest law firm in Middlesex County, NJ; Rubin, Rubin & Malgran. I headed up the litigation department, bond department, and family law section of the firm while serving on the firm’s management committee. I have represented numerous athletes as well.
After withdrawing from the firm, I became the CEO of Edison Power Technologies and subsequently, CEO of CliniSys, Inc.

I have served on the City Council of Plainfield as well as Union County Freeholder and Freeholder Director. Under my leadership Union County completed over $500 million in capital improvements for the county including a resource recovery facility, a new county hospital, and a new county jail. I also served as the NJ State Republican Finance Chairman for several years. I became known as someone who could build consensus from disparate ideologies.

Aside from all that, I’m also an avid fisherman, swimmer, downhill skier and avid Yankees fan.
