The Reluctant Finance Wizard of East Brunswick: He Left the Board — But Never Left the Fight.
Once upon a time, Jeff Winston was a Board of Ed member.
See, Jeff did something that almost nobody in East Brunswick politics has the guts to do — he resigned. Not because he didn’t care. Not because he didn’t want to deal with the nonsense. But because staying quiet while incompetence ran wild wasn’t an option.
“I left to raise awareness — and I have.”
— Jeff Winston, casually raising more awareness in one Facebook post than the entire BOE does in a year.
And raise awareness he did.
- Meeting attendance? Higher.
- Parents? Paying attention.
- Teachers? Trust him.
- Community? Organizing.
From BOE Seat to The People’s Champ.
After resigning, Jeff didn’t disappear quietly like most former board members who tap out and never look back.
Nah.
He built East Brunswick Action — a group now pushing 1,600 members deep — all tired of the games, the excuses, and the magical disappearing budget tricks coming out of 760 Route 18.
Last year? The EB Action group backed a slate of candidates that sent shockwaves through the system.
And this year?
People are straight up saying it out loud…
“We need him back.”
Living In Their Heads, Might As Well Move In.
Jeff is already living in leadership’s heads part-time… maybe it’s time to go full time and move in permanently.
Three-year lease.
Maybe even a finance-themed doormat that says “Wipe Your Budget Lies Here.”
Because let’s be honest — this isn’t just about numbers. It’s about trust.
And like it or not, Jeff Winston has it.
- Teachers trust him.
- Parents trust him.
- Even Bernie probably respects him… in that “damn I hope he doesn’t run again” kind of way.
The Finance Wizard East Brunswick Never Deserved — But Definitely Needs.
This district doesn’t need another follower.
It doesn’t need another “yes” vote.
It doesn’t need another board member who just smiles while programs get cut and central office gets fatter.
It needs someone who can break down a budget like Bernie breaks down a Keurig machine.
And if that means dragging Jeff Winston back into the arena?
So be it.
Eyes On EB: Watching Closely. Counting Receipts. Waiting For The Return.
Want me to:
- Add fake campaign slogans?
- Add a “Signs Jeff Winston Is Living In Your Head” checklist?
- Create a social post with a CTA?
- Make an image like a “WANTED” poster but says “NEEDED: Finance Wizard — Jeff Winston”?
