Vincent "Vince" Mazzeo (born January 6, 1964) is an American Democratic Party politician who has served in the New Jersey General Assembly since January 2014, representing the 2nd Legislative District. Prior to his election to the Assembly, Mazzeo had served as the mayor of Northfield, New Jersey from 2008 through 2014.
Mazzeo is part owner of B.F. Mazzeo, a grocery store. Prior to serving as mayor, Mazzeo served on the Northfield City Council from 2003 until 2007 and was the president of the council. He received a bachelor's degree from Glassboro State College (now Rowan University) and is married to Gerri. They have two children.
In the 2013 elections, Mazzeo ran for a seat in the General Assembly and was declared the winner by 32 votes over Republican Party incumbent John F. Amodeo. Amodeo filed for a recount after Mazzeo had been declared the winner by a margin of 38 votes among the more than 100,000 ballots cast and conceded to Mazzeo shortly after a month-long process showed Mazzeo ahead by 51 votes.
Each of the 40 districts in the New Jersey Legislature has one representative in the New Jersey Senate and two members in the New Jersey General Assembly. The other representatives from the 2nd District for the 2016–2017 Legislative Session are:
