David C. Russo (born October 8, 1953) is an American Republican Party politician, who serves in the New Jersey General Assembly, where he has represented the 40th legislative district since 1990.
Russo was born in Jersey City. He graduated with a B.A. from the College of William and Mary in history in 1975 and received a J.D. from Seton Hall University School of Law in 1978.
Russo served as Attorney for the Borough of Bergenfield from 2002-2005 and served as attorney for Bergenfield's Zoning Board of Adjustment from 1988-1989. He was the Municipal Prosecutor for the Township of Wyckoff from 1987-1988 and served as an attorney for the Bergen County Office on Aging from 1986-1987.
Having been admitted to the bar in 1979, he is a partner at the Teaneck law firm Russo and Russo. He currently resides in Ridgewood with wife Rosemarie (née Adamiak) with whom he has two children.
Russo began his elected career in 1989 when he defeated long-time assemblyman Walter Kern in the June Republican primary, though Kern had been disbarred after a scandal was exposed. He has since been easily re-elected every two years to the Assembly. As of 2015[update], he is the longest-serving current member of the General Assembly, though not the earliest-serving member (Ralph R. Caputo served non-consecutive terms in the Assembly in the 1960s and 1970s). He serves in the Assembly on the Homeland Security and State Preparedness Committee.
