William Bryk (born March 12, 1955) was born and raised in upstate New York near Albany. He is an elected public official in the Town of Antrim, New Hampshire and the Contoocook Valley School District, a journalist, horseman, a lawyer admitted to practice in New Hampshire and New York, and perennial candidate.[1] 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]
Bryk was also a New York City career civil servant, columnist for the New York Sun[4] and contributing writer to New York Press. He frequently contributes to Splice Today, edited and published by Russ Smith, former publisher of New York Press.
In March 2016, Bryk and his wife, Mimi Kramer-Bryk, a former theatre critic for The New Yorker, moved to Antrim, New Hampshire.
He has been elected to the following offices in the Town of Antrim: 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 [5] and 2022 and the Democratic nominee for Hillsborough County Treasurer in 2018 and 2020.
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.
