Father Like Son: The Kurpis Family Business—Now Open for Political Appointments -

Saddle River, NJ – Mayor Albert Kurpis has always had a knack for extractions—whether it’s teeth in his former dental practice or power in the Borough of Saddle River. And now, it seems he’s found a new patient for political surgery: his own son, Jon Kurpis.

That’s right—while most fathers pass down a family business, Mayor Kurpis has opted for a different kind of generational handoff: political power. After securing his third term as mayor, Albert swore in his 46-year-old son Jon to his first term on the Saddle River Borough Council.

🚨 Saddle River residents weren’t just given a new council member—they got the first installment of the Kurpis political dynasty.

🔹 The Kurpis Family Business: From Dentistry to Democracy

While Albert Kurpis spent years as a dentist, it turns out political maneuvering runs in the family just as well as a dental drill.

📌 Albert pulled teeth for a living—now he pulls strings in government.
📌 Jon Kurpis went from tech entrepreneur to councilman overnight, thanks to a little family influence.
📌 Both father and son are now shaping Saddle River’s future—whether voters like it or not.

If you thought a root canal was painful, try watching a town government get taken over by one family.

🔹 Nepotism or Just ‘Community Service’?

Mayor Kurpis insists his son Jon was elected fairly, just like any other candidate.

📌 Jon Kurpis previously held positions on the borough’s Landmark and Environmental Commissions, as well as the Planning Board.
📌 Both were elected—there’s nothing illegal about it.
📌 But let’s be honest—how many people really had a shot against the mayor’s own son?

🚨 When your father is mayor and you suddenly land on the council, it’s not just public service—it’s a family expansion plan.

And while Saddle River gets handed another Kurpis in office, residents are still waiting for real leadership on the biggest issues plaguing the town—like the discrimination scandals in the police department.

🔹 The Kurpis Legacy: Overseeing a Corrupt Police Department

📌 Under Mayor Kurpis’ leadership, the Saddle River Police Department has been accused of gender discrimination, retaliation, and corruption.
📌 Two female officers—Sgt. Diana Golonek and Officer Maryan Beskaly—were systematically targeted, harassed, and forced out.
📌 Kurpis and Police Chief Jason Cosgriff have turned a blind eye while the department mistreated women officers, ignored complaints, and rewarded bad behavior.

🚨 Yet, instead of addressing these scandals, Kurpis was busy swearing in his son to a Borough Council seat.

While he expands his family’s influence, women in law enforcement are being driven out of the force for simply doing their jobs.

🔹 Like Father, Like Son: Will Jon Be More of the Same?

Jon swears he’s not in lockstep with his father—but will he challenge the corruption, favoritism, and discrimination that have defined Mayor Kurpis’ tenure?

📌 Will he push for an investigation into the wrongful termination of Officer Beskaly?
📌 Will he hold Chief Cosgriff accountable for creating a hostile work environment for women in law enforcement?
📌 Will he fight for transparency—or will he just be another Kurpis in power?

🚨 If Jon is serious about serving the people, he should start by cleaning up the mess his father left behind.

📢 The Takeaway: Saddle River Deserves Leadership, Not a Family Dynasty

🔥 Government isn’t a family business—it’s a public service.
🔥 Saddle River residents deserve officials who earned their seats—not those who inherited them.
🔥 The focus shouldn’t be on maintaining a Kurpis legacy—it should be on fixing the town’s real problems.

📢 Will Jon Kurpis prove he’s more than just his father’s political heir, or will Saddle River be stuck with another generation of the same old leadership?

🚨 Because if the Kurpis family keeps extracting power, Saddle River might need more than a mayoral shake-up—it’ll need emergency surgery. 🚨
