Biography

Bryk was born and raised near Albany, New York. He is an elected public official in the Town of Antrim, New Hampshire and the Contoocook Valley School District, a journalist, a horseman, a lawyer admitted to practice in New Hampshire and New York, and perennial candidate. [1] He was a career civil servant for the City of New York from 1977 through 2010.

Before Bryk left his former residence in Brooklyn, New York, he took advantage of the Constitutional requirement that candidates for U.S. Senator or U.S. Representative live in the state in which they are campaigning by the day of the general election. This allowed Bryk to run in the primaries without ever visiting the state. [2] Bryk generally ran in races that lacked a credible Democratic candidate. [3]

Antrim's voters elected him Library Trustee, 2017; Cemetery Trustee, 2018, Planning Board Member, 2018, re-elected 2020; Cemetery Trustee, 2021; Supervisor of the Checklist, 2021, re-elected 2022; and Trustee of Trust Funds, 2021. In 2023, he was elected one of Antrim's two members of the Contoocook Valley School Board.

He was the Democratic nominee for Hillsborough County Register of Probate in 2016 [4] and 2022 and the Democratic nominee for Hillsborough County Treasurer in 2018 and 2020. He is unopposed in the 2024 Democratic primary for State Representative from the Hillsborough County 30th District.

He is a former secretary and vice chairman of the Antrim Town Democratic Committee, a former delegate to the New Hampshire State Democratic Convention, and a Justice of the Peace.
